In the past five years, the development of new imaging technologies
that make possible faster and more accurate diagnoses has
significantly improved the imaging of disease and injury. This new
edition of "Squire's Fundamentals of Radiology" describes and
illustrates these new techniques to prepare medical students and
other radiology learners to provide the most optimal and up-to-date
imaging management for their patients. Not only are new diagnostic
techniques outlined, such as the multidetector computed tomography
diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and the diffusion-weighted
magnetic-resonance imaging of stroke, but hundreds of new
diagnostic images have been included to illustrate the radiological
characteristics of common diseases with state-of-the-art computed
radiography, ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and
magnetic-resonance images. The text has been completely reviewed
and updated to present the latest and best strategies in diagnostic
imaging.
New interventional radiology procedures have been added,
including vertebroplasty, a percutaneous injection treatment of
painful spinal compression fractures; uterine artery embolization,
a surgical alternative to hysterectomy in women with painful or
bleeding uterine fibroids; and radiofrequency ablation, a
percutaneous technique for treating unresectable tumors in the
liver and other organs with probes that superheat and thus destroy
cancer cells.
A new chapter on advances in diagnostic imaging describes many
cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as three-dimensional and
digital imaging, functional magnetic-resonance imaging, PET-CT
(positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography),
cardiaccalcium CT scoring, multidetector gated cardiac CT, and
molecular imaging.
