Radiologic-Pathologic Correlations from Head to Toe: Understanding the Manifestations of Disease / Edition 1

by Nicholas C. Gourtsoyiannis, Pablo R. Ros

Overview

This book, first of its kind and written by leading experts, offers a comprehensive review of imaging of the whole body based on correlating the radiologic findings with gross and microscopic pathology . Taking advantage of all imaging modalities, the authors give detailed descriptions of radiologic presentations with pathologic correlation, of a broad spectrum of diseases from most organ systems, including the nervous system, head and neck, chest, gastrointestinal and urogenital system, musculoskeletal system and breast. The book helps the clinician to apply the principles of radiologic-pathologic correlation to the interpretation of radiologic studies and therefore to better understand the clinical and pathologic implications of the radiologic appearance. Furthermore this radiologic-pathologic correlation allows to refine the differential diagnosis in key disease entities of the main organ systems. The book is richly illustrated with high-resolution images, many of them in color, and will serve as a unique source of information for radiologists, gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, pathologists, gynecologists, urologists and oncologists.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Seth Jay Kligerman, MD, MS (University of Colorado School of Medicine)
Description: This book is intended to provide us with a micro and macroscopic view of the pathology we see every day so we can better understand their radiographic appearances.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide radiologists with pathologic correlation to radiographic findings. It's like AFIP in book form. These are worthy objectives since understanding the gross and microscopic pathology allows us to be better at our field. However, they are partially met; the book is strong in the realm of neoplasms, but lacking elsewhere.
Audience: Although the author does not specify for whom the book is intended, it appears to be written for practitioners. It is a useful resource for upper level residents as well.
Features: The book provides radiologic-pathologic correlations primarily for masses and neoplasms seen throughout the body. The photographs of gross specimens are truly helpful in understanding why certain masses have specific imaging characteristics. Additionally, the book is comprehensive and provides information on even the most rare neoplasms. The sections on interstitial lung disease, small airway disease, MSK infections, and arthritis are excellent but are the only sections concentrating on non-neoplastic pathology.
Assessment: This is an excellent reference for those who want a better understanding of why various masses provide us with certain radiologic appearances. This is the only book of its kind and it is very useful for residents and practitioners alike.

From the reviews:

JAMA April 27, 2004:..."this gem of a book is unique, extremely well-written, concise, surprisingly thorough, and extremely valuable for all types of physicians in all fields of medicine. It likely will quickly become a classic, and the editors and authors deserve commendation for their Herculean efforts."

RAD Magazine, June, 2005:

This is a quite excellent book and shows in lovely detail the extent of radiological and pathological correlation that is possible with modern medical imaging.

The blurb on the back cover states that this book is an unique source of information for radiologists and other specialists, including gastroenterologists, surgeons, pathologists, gynaecologists, urologists and oncologists. This is very true and this book is very strongly recommended to these professional groups.

This book would be of great benefit to medical students who are learning patholgy.

This book should be in university, hospital and departmental libraries.

As always, the quality from Springer is superb.

(Dr. Adrian Thomas, RAD Magazine, June, 2005)

"The authors are professors in departments of radiology … . They have developed the concept of the radiologic-pathologic correlation, well established by the Radiologic pathology department at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington. This is a useful toolfor teaching and learning, but the authors aimed to go further in offering this textbook, which is not only an educational one but also a suitable compilation of the up dated state of art about the topic." (Fabrice Duparc, Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, March, 2006)
