Imaging of Kidney Cancer (Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging)

"This is one of the first books to deal specifically with diagnostic imaging of the entire spectrum of kidney cancers. Both new and conventional imaging modalities are fully considered. In an introductory chapter, the histopathological classification of kidney cancers is presented and discussed. The following five chapters describe in great detail the abilities, advantages, and disadvantages of the various imaging modalities used in the diagnosis of kidney cancers and the assessment of disease extension. Subsequent chapters offer an exhaustive description of the radiological features of the different histological subtypes of kidney cancer, with radiological and histological illustrations and tables. Interventional procedures employed in diagnosis, therapy and treatment evaluation are described, with reference to the latest technical innovations. Finally, radio logical and surgical advances in minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of kidney cancers are addressed. The book is well illustrated with carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 24 chapters is written by an internationally acclaimed expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available."--Jacket Histopathological Classification....Pages 1-14 Ultrasound and Doppler in Kidney Cancer....Pages 15-28 CT in Kidney Cancer....Pages 29-49 Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Kidney Cancer....Pages 51-74 Angiography in Kidney Cancer....Pages 75-87 PET and PET/CT in Kidney Cancer....Pages 89-101 Renal Cell Carcinoma....Pages 103-123 Transitional Cell Carcinoma....Pages 125-143 Kidney Sarcomas....Pages 145-157 Cystic Renal Masses....Pages 159-169 Collecting Duct Carcinoma....Pages 171-185 Renal Sinus Neoplasms....Pages 187-201 Small Renal Neoplasms....Pages 203-218 Unusual Kidney Cancers....Pages 219-238 Hereditary Renal Cancer....Pages 239-256 Extraosseous Metastases and Local Recurrence....Pages 257-308 Imaging of Bone Metastases....Pages 309-320 Renal Lymphoma....Pages 321-335 Lymphoproliferative Neoplasms....Pages 337-349 Pediatric Kidney Cancer....Pages 351-369 Percutaneous Biopsy and Radiofrequency Ablation....Pages 371-383 Transarterial Embolization....Pages 385-395 Preoperative Navigation of Nephron-Sparing Surgery....Pages 397-414 Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy....Pages 415-426 This is one of the first books to deal specifically with diagnostic imaging of the entire spectrum of kidney cancers. Both new and conventional imaging modalities are fully considered. After an introductory chapter on the histopathological classification of kidney cancers, the advantages and disadvantages of the various imaging modalities used in the diagnosis and assessment of disease extension are documented. Subsequent chapters offer an exhaustive description of the radiological features of the different histological subtypes of kidney cancer, with radiological and histological illustrations and tables. The latest innovations in interventional and minimally invasive procedures are also well covered. The book benefits from carefully chosen and technically excellent images. Each of the 24 chapters is written by an internationally acclaimed expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of the subject available. It should be of great interest to radiologists, oncologists, and urologists.
