The volumes in The Requisites in Gastroenterology series clearly and succinctly present the core knowledge that is required for certification and recertification. They also serve as convenient references for clinical practice. In this full-color volume, established experts cover all of today's essential information on endoscopy and gastrointestinal radiology. They offer you practice-proven guidance on differential diagnosis, pitfalls, evidence-based management approaches, and much more. Contents lists at the beginning of each chapter summarize the material that follows. And, helpful illustrations, boxes, and tables help you to grasp important concepts at a glance. Book jacket.

Provides unique, cutting-edge information on the latest gastrointestinal imaging techniques. The author, a leading researcher in the field of virtual colonoscopy, guides the reader through the use of this new technique as well as all other imaging approaches for the entire GI tract. Unique correlations between radiology and endoscopy studies helps to see how the findings compare for every diagnosis. An organization by differential diagnosis helps for quick answers to clinical questions, and hundreds of spectacular color digital-quality images present all of the visual assistance you need to make an accurate diagnosis for both common and uncommon gastrointestinal disorders.

This book, the proceedings of Falk Symposium 124, `Medical Imaging in Gastroenterology and Hepatology' (Progress in Gastroenterology and Hepatology Part I), held in Hannover, Germany, on September 28-29, 2001, aims to demonstrate the newest developments in the various imaging techniques for diagnosis and therapy, coupled with overviews by renowned international experts. In this book, up-to-date technologies in medical imaging and image documentation as well as the most modern transmission techniques should bridge the gap between futuristic research and everyday clinical practice.

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.

Written specifically for gastroenterologists at all levels, Imaging in Gastroenterolog, by Drs. Michael P. Federle, Peter D. Poullos, and Sidhartha Sinha, is an authoritative, single-volume resource that provides clear, relevant imaging information for the diagnosis and management of adult GI and hepatobiliary disorders. Easy-to-understand terminology, anatomy chapters tailored for gastroenterologists, and superb images throughout make this an ideal point-of-care reference for practicing physicians, fellows, and residents in gastroenterology. - Provides introductory background information, normal imaging anatomy, and radiology terminology relevant to gastroenterologists - Features high-quality images with detailed, easy-to-understand captions, and presents information in a bulleted, templated format for quick reference - Details how to choose between different imaging tests in evaluating specific clinical situations, including the strengths and weaknesses of those tests - Covers imaging evaluation of the "incidental" pancreatic or hepatic cystic mass; GI motility disorders; the evolving role of fluoroscopy, CT and MR enterography, and the advantages and limitations of each study; imaging evaluation and interventional techniques for GI bleeding and hepatic and biliary malignancies; and much more

This practically oriented book illustrates and reviews the imaging appearances of the common and unusual complications that may occur after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), colonoscopy, polypectomy, stricture dilatation, and stent placement. Detailed attention is devoted to the assessment of complications after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) positioning, the issues associated with video capsule retention after small bowel capsule endoscopy, and iatrogenic colonic perforations in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. A dedicated chapter explains the expanding role and possibilities of interventional radiology in the treatment of such complications. The pivotal role of multidetector computed tomography (CT) in the detection and grading of endoscopy-specific iatrogenic complications is highlighted. In addition, normal imaging appearances are presented for comparison and information is provided on such aspects as the mechanisms of complications, patient- and procedure-related risk factors, clinical features, and treatment options according to established guidelines. The book will be invaluable in enabling gastroenterologists, general surgeons, and radiologists to diagnose and treat endoscopy-related complications in timely fashion.
