Imaging For Surgical Disease

Surgical residents receive no formal training on reading imaging studies. Imaging For Surgical Disease was written to be a tool they can carry with them to help identify common surgical disease. Authored by surgeons instead of radiologists, this quick reference guide only presents the information surgeons will need to effectively use radiology to help confirm the diagnosis. Using bulleted text, this quick reference covers 100 conditions in all areas general surgical residents will see in their training. Each section of the book concentrates on one specific disease process and includes images demonstrating positive findings. Each image is clearly labeled to highlight the area of interest as well as surrounding anatomy for reference points. Designed to fit in a resident’s pocket, this compact handbook will help the reader get a better understanding of which diagnostic imaging is appropriate for each patient and how it should be ordered. FEATURES: • All modalities are represented including CT, ultrasound, MR, and plain film • Text concentrates on the most common radiology images surgery residents order every day • Covers the incidence, clinical manifestations, physical exam and lab findings • Describes imaging findings, provides a series of representative labeled images, and suggestions for further reading Contents: 1.
