This book provides a concise, yet thorough overview of the radiographic evaluation of a full range of commonly encountered gastrointestinal disease entities. For each segment of the gastrointestinal tract, readers will find a summary of the relevant radiographic anatomy, imaging techniques, and indications for radiographic examination ... discussions of which imaging examinations are indicated for optimal evaluation of specific disease processes ... and explanations of what to look for in the resultant images. Covers the functional and structural abnormalities of the entire alimentary tract, including the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon, as well as the accessory organs of the gastrointestinal system, including the liver, biliary system, spleen, and pancreas. Discusses all relevant imaging modalitiesincluding conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, computed tomography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine. Includes over 395 examples demonstrating both normal and abnormal radiologic findings for easy comparison to the images seen in practice. Utilizes a straightforward, easy-to-read writing style to make complex material uncommonly accessible. Provides recommended reading lists at the end of each chapter. A volume in the highly popular Fundamentals of Radiology series.

A new, comprehensive review of the radiographic examination of the post-operative GI tract. Organized on an organ-by-organ basis, emphasis is placed on conventional studies, supplemented by cross-sectional imaging. Operative techniques and normal post-operative anatomy are depicted with many schematic line drawings. Normal changes, as well as early and late complications are discussed and abundantly illustrated. A must-have reference for general radiologists, specialists in gastrointestinal surgery and radiology medical libraries.

A comprehensive description of the most common abdominal operations involving the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, liver and genitourinary systems, illustrated with artists' drawings and images of normal post operative anatomy. The complications associated with each procedure will be in table format consisting of text alongside imaging examples. There will also be teaching points included. The book will be divided into nine chapters.

This 3rd Edition describes and illustrates double contrast techniques for the diagnosis of diseases affecting the upper gastrointestinal tract, small bowel and colon. Co-edited by three of the world's leading gastrointestinal radiologists with an outstanding group of contributors, this reference explains the principles of examination. It describes how to perform the techniques in each area of the GI tract and guides the reader in interpreting the resulting radiographs. Devotes entire chapters to specific areas of the GI tract (pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small bowel, and colon) and the technical aspects of studies specific to those areas, including pharyngography, esophagography, upper GI examinations, small bowel enemas (enteroclysis), and barium enemas. Includes important sections on the double contrast barium enema and the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms and cancers that reflect growing national interest in colon cancer screening techniques. Features detailed, clearly labeled images that illustrate both normal anatomy and the abnormalities discussed in the text. Includes new sections on HIV esophagitis; Helicobacter pylori gastritis and the relationship of H. pylori to peptic ulcer disease; and gastric MALT lymphoma, an early, curable form of gastric lymphoma. Details the advantages of using digital fluoroscopic imaging to perform and interpret double contrast studies.
