Beskrivning

Virtual colonoscopy is a rapidly developing technique that promises to be safer, more economical, and less intrusive than conventional diagnostic tests for colon cancer. Despite the attention that virtual colonoscopy is receiving among medical professionals, many lack an understanding of the basics of this cutting-edge procedure. Renowned radiologist Dr. Abraham Dachman and a distinguished group of international contributors have prepared a fundamentals book that fills this void. This practical handbook fully explains the essentials of this state-of-the-art technique to radiologists, gastroenterologists, radiology residents, and technologists. Key topics include how to perform and interpret a virtual colonoscopic examination, accuracy, and radiation dose. Illustrations reinforce major concepts. The practical design and current content of this guide make it a frontrunner among CT colonography introductory texts.

From the reviews: RAD Magazine, July, 2005: Perhaps one of the most attractive features of this book is its manageablesize and quality of the images. Each of the nine chapters is succinct and, indeed, it is possible to read the whole volume in an afternoon. The book serves as an introduction to virtual colonoscopy (VC) and would be of use to those with little direct experience of the technique. The editor, Dr Abraham Dachman, has assembled an impressive collection of contributors, each at the cutting edge of current VC research. Overall, the volume is well-written, easy to read and provides a useful summary for those with little prior knowledge. "'Fundamentals of Virtual Colonoscopy' coordinated by A. Dachman and written by a panel of international experts represents a practical guide for radiologists, gastroenterologists, radiology residents and technologists. ... The sections are completed with clear and numerous illustrations, which facilitate comprehension of CT colonography. ... an excellent practical guide for initiation of CT colonography." (P. Hecketsweiler, Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, Vol. 27 (6), 2005)
