MDCT and MRI of the Liver, Bile Ducts and Pancreas (A-Z Notes in Radiological Practice and Reporting)

This handbook is a concise practical guide for residents and general radiologists that will offer reliable assistance during the performance and reporting of multidetector row computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with Liver Bile Ducts and Pancreas conditions. It is organized alphabetically, primarily according to disease or condition, permitting easy and fast consultation. Entries typically include a short description of pathological and clinical characteristics, guidance on selection of the most appropriate imaging technique, a schematic review of potential diagnostic clues, and useful tips and tricks. Some helpful illustrations and schemes are also included. The book is the fourth in the new Springer handbook series, A-Z Notes in Radiological Practice and Reporting.
