| Abstract: |
This textbook aims to familiarize the reader with various imaging modalities, the information they provide, and with the merits of each, in order to facilitate the combined use of different imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of hepatobiliary (liver and bile tract) diseases. The book includes 47 chapters in seven sections: progress in imaging, anatomy and gross changes in the liver, diffuse liver diseases, vascular disease, space-occupying lesions, other liver diseases, and biliary tract disease. Specific topics include computed tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); harmonic ultrasound; anatomy of the liver; acute hepatitis and acute hepatic failure; chronic hepatitis; cirrhosis (liver scarring); fatty liver (steatosis); alcoholic liver disease; iron overload; Wilson's disease; amyloidosis, metabolic diseases, drug-induced and chemical-induced liver injuries; vascular anatomy of the liver and vascular anomalies; portal hypertension (high blood pressure); thrombosis (clotting) affecting the liver; Budd-Chiari syndrome; primary malignant tumors of the liver (liver cancer); benign liver lesions; cysts of the liver; liver abscess; blunt hepatic trauma; parasitic diseases; infections and the liver; transplantation; anatomy of the biliary tract; congenital anomalies and dilatation; Caroli's disease; stone disease (gallstones); biliary tract stenosis; primary sclerosing cholangitis; cholecystitis and Mirizzi syndrome; tumors of the gallbladder; adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis; Hilar carcinoma; and tumors of the common bile duct and papilla of Vater. Each chapter includes black and white reproductions of imaging techniques and a list of references. The book includes a color plate section and a detailed subject index. |
