Gynecologic Imaging

This book provides a detailed guide to the use and interpretation of color Doppler ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging in patients with gynecological disorders. The advantages and limitations of each modality in imaging different pathologies are clearly presented, and advice is provided on the most appropriate option when ultrasound does not permit a definite diagnosis or fails to determine the precise extension of a lesion. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the importance of microscopic and macroscopic findings for a full understanding of the radiological appearances, and relevant points from the basic sciences are also highlighted. Special attention is paid to issues of differential diagnosis and imaging results that are characteristic of a particular type of lesion. The authors are recognized experts in the field who draw upon their considerable experience to provide an up-to-date reference book highly relevant to everyday clinical practice.

This textbook provides a comprehensive review of gynecological imaging in infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Experts from the disciplines of pediatric radiology, gynecology, surgery, and endocrinology have come together to produce a textbook that, while written primarily from the perspective of the radiologist, will be of value to all professionals involved in the management of these patients. The normal development of the female reproductive tract is described in detail through embryological development, normal childhood appearances, and puberty. Congenital abnormalities are addressed in chapters reviewing structural abnormalities of the reproductive tract and disorders of sex development. A symptoms-based approach is followed in chapters devoted to the assessment of the patient with gynecological pain and disorders of menstruation. Disorders of the breast and the imaging of patients with gynecological neoplasia are considered in dedicated chapters.

This book provides expert guidance on the choice and use of imaging studies for the diagnosis of benign and malignant gynecologic disorders. The book will aid radiologists and gynecologists in planning a cost-effective diagnostic workup by selecting the best single series of imaging modalities for a particular clinical problem. Each chapter begins with a discussion by a clinician of the clinically relevant parameters of a specific gynecologic disorder. This discussion is followed by a thoroughly illustrated presentation and correlation of the primary and secondary diagnostic imaging modalities, including conventional and color Doppler sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography. The authors clearly explain the advantages and limitations of each imaging modality relative to those clinically pertinent parameters that affect patient management. Coverage also includes information on sonographically guided interventional procedures and postoperative imaging. Complementing the text throughout are more than 700 detail-revealing scans, including 191 in full color.

This book presents guidance on nuclear imaging. It offers details for each diagnosis, representative images, case data and current references.
