Mri Of The Female And Male Pelvis

Based on the experience of two Italian referral centers, the book depicts the characteristic findings obtained when using MR imaging to study the male and female pelvis including the obstetric applications. Each chapter provides a comprehensive account of the use of the imaging technique of examination, including the most recent advances in MR imaging, the anatomy and MR possibilities in the identification, characterization and staging of the different pelvic diseases highlighting its diagnostic possibilities. The advances in fetal MRI, representing the cutting edge of pelvic MR imaging, will also be depicted. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations, as well as clinical cases that make this a very practice-oriented work, presenting the role of diagnostic imaging in every-day clinical activity. The volume will prove an invaluable guide for both residents and professionals with core interest in gynecology, obstetrics and urology.

Editor Mukesh Harisinghani and authors review important areas in MR of the male pelvis. Articles in this issue will include MRI of the Urinary Bladder; Multiparametric MRI Imaging of the Prostate; Diffusion Weighted Imaging of the Male Pelvis; MR Imaging of the Rectum; Penile MR Imaging; MR Imaging of Pelvic Metastases; MR Imaging of Scrotum; Vascular MR Imaging of the Male Pelvis; and more!

This volume discusses and compares the contribution of the various imaging techniques employed in the diagnosis and assessment of diseases of the female pelvic organs. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of the newer modalities of MRI, CT, and ultrasonography, including color Doppler. Due attention is also given to interventional procedures and to the evaluation of the effectiveness of different therapies. Each chapter includes carefully selected illustrations, providing an extensive repository of material that will be of assistance in the evaluation of patients.

This book provides complete coverage of MRI to diagnose tumours and functional disorders of the chest and abdomen. It also addresses the expanding use of MRI to examine the male and female reproductive systems, pelvis, hips, bladder, and breast.

This volume provides a comprehensive account of the use of MRI and CT cross-sectional imaging techniques to identify and characterize developmental anomalies and acquired diseases of the female genital tract. Benign and malignant diseases are considered, and attention is also paid to normal anatomical findings and variants. Emphasis is on the most recent diagnostic and technical advances, and the text is complemented by detailed illustrations.
