Extensively revised and updated, this classic text covers radiology of the abdomen as it relates to the progression of disease within an organ and from one organ to another. The book provides a systematic application of anatomic and dynamic principles to the practical understanding and diagnosis of intraabdominal disease, addressing the full range of imaging modalities, from plain films and conventional contrast studies to CT, US, MRI and endoscopic ultrasonography. Carefully selected, ample images -- including CT and MRI -- support the thoroughly descriptive text as do expanded references, citing both the classic and recent contributions, and a detailed cross-referenced index. For radiologists, general surgeons, gastroenterologists, and others seeking insight into the clinical practice of radiology, this text continues to be the gold standard in the field.
