Gastrointestinal Radiology: A Pattern Approach

 Unique  among all medical texts on the subject, this volume provides a direct,  stepwise approach to the differential diagnosis of abnormal findings on  gastrointestinal radiographs. This singular book promptly gives  physicians in training and in practice the information they need to  reach the best clinical diagnosis. Each of the book's 80 chapters shows a  specific radiographic pattern...lists every disease entity it could  possibly be...and helps the reader confirm, refine, or reject  differential diagnoses. Using a "pattern approach," individual chapters  focus on specific radiologic abnormal appearances rather than disease  entities and outline the typical signs, symptoms, and predisposing  factors for the abnormality. This edition features hundreds of new  images and a new section on MRI of the liver.
