This book describes the multimodality imaging of cardiac, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and small bowel transplants in donors and recipients. The volume of transplantation of solid organs has increased substantially and has become common practice in medicine. Radiological evaluation of transplanted organs such as the heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and kidneys is critical, both in potential donors (as is the case in liver and kidney transplantation) and in preoperative and postoperative evaluations of recipients. Understanding the often complex surgical anastomoses and unique pathology is necessary to inform radiologic interpretation. This book provides radiologists with the knowledge of the normal appearance of a transplanted organ, an understanding of imaging modalities that are best suited to answering clinical questions, an overview of the pathologies related to such organs and their appearance on various modalities, vascular and nonvascular complications, and techniques related to image-guided transplant interventions.

"This issue of Radiologic Clinics of North America provides an up-to-date and comprehensive review of solid organ transplantation imaging. Each article has been written by a leading expert in the respective field, providing a unique and authoritative perspective on the topic. The text is richly illustrated with high-quality images, providing readers with a clear understanding of the relevant imaging findings and their clinical implications. The articles cover all aspects of imaging in liver, lung, heart, pancreas, kidney, and intestinal transplantation, including donor evaluation, pre-transplant assessment of the recipient, intraoperative imaging, post-operative monitoring, and detecting complications and rejection, the issue also includes articles on immunosuppression complications and special transplant scenarios, such as Domino transplantation and autotransplantation."--
