Gynecologic Obstetric And Breast Radiology

The only comprehensive reference devoted to diagnostic and interventional radiology in women, this text surveys a range of modalities and their respective utility in diagnosing and managing disorders specific to women. The authors address the variety of normal and pathologic states that can be assessed radiologically--from pregnancy, infertility, and ART, through neoplasia of the reproductive organs and the breasts, and clinical correlations help explain the role of radiology within the context of women's overall health. This book is filled with practical, authoritative information that is immediately relevant to the day-to-day work of practicing radiologists.

This book is primarily a symptom-based guide to Breast and Gynecologic Imaging. Most clinical publications focus on a specific pathology such as "Imaging and/or management of ovarian cancer," but in clinical practice, patients do not present with a diagnosis. Physicians are presented with clinical symptoms, and appropriate use of imaging after a clinical assessment is critical from the point of view of effective intervention to treat a patient. CMS now mandates a clinical decision support system to justify imaging. This is based on making use of appropriate modalities for specific clinical problems that are deemed so by professional society guidelines. In an era of emphasis on cost effective, high quality health care delivery, it is critical for clinicians in training and practice to have a resource that outlines scientifically sound and professional society endorsed criteria for appropriate work up of patients’ symptoms. This book applies this symptom-based approach to women’s health. Authors are focused on providing a scientifically proven resource to gynecologists, obstetricians, radiologists and internists involved in the management of common symptoms affecting women. Each chapter is based on a common breast or gynecological problem and how patients are triaged for imaging. The implications of the findings and the most appropriate management of the patient are also presented. The text focuses on providing the most effective methods currently available to investigate commonly encountered symptoms in women’s health. In addition, there are chapters that outline rationale of screening for breast cancer in women with an average risk and those with an elevated risk for breast cancer as well as a clinician guide to understanding multidisciplinary approach to the Breast cancer patient. This is an ideal guide for gynecologists, obstetricians, radiologists, and internists working in women’s health.

This issue of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics con breast disorders covers imaging modalities, benign breast disorders, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, contemporary managment and treatment options for breast cancer. There is also an article devoted to Special considerations in breast cancer patients and survivors.

Multiple Choice Questions are the most common method of assessing knowledge in radiology. This book has more than 1000 questions, covering all the essential topics in Gastrointestinal Radiology. The questions have been divided into separate topics, which will enable revising the subjects on a topic basis, with due emphasis on anatomy, techniques and pathology. The questions have been designed on the format used by the Royal College of Radiologists UK, Ireland, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. There is a single question with five stems, which require a true or false response. The answers and detailed explanations are provided at the end of each chapter. This book will be a valuable resource for review and practice prior to the Fellowship exams. Bibliographies have been provided for further reading.
