Radiological Imaging of the Ureter (Medical Radiology)
By Francis Joffre, Philippe Otal, Michel Soulie
Ureteral Imaging: Techniques and Applications
By Francis Joffre, Philippe Otal, Michel Soulie
Ureteral imaging has undergone significant changes over the past few decades with the emergence of helical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. These new imaging modalities have revolutionized the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the ureter. In their book, “Ureteral Imaging: Techniques and Applications,” authors Francis Joffre, Philippe Otal, and Michel Soulie provide an in-depth exploration of both traditional and new imaging techniques for diagnosing and treating ureteral diseases.
A Comprehensive Guide to Ureteral Imaging
This book serves as a comprehensive guide to the various imaging techniques employed in the evaluation and management of ureteral diseases. The authors begin by discussing the fundamentals of ureteral anatomy and physiology, providing readers with a solid foundation of knowledge before delving into the various imaging modalities.
The book covers the technique and interpretation of intravenous excretory urography, a traditional method for imaging the ureter. However, the authors also dedicate significant attention to the more modern techniques of helical CT and MRI. They outline the advantages and disadvantages of each modality and provide practical tips for obtaining high-quality images.
One of the book’s strengths is its emphasis on clinical scenarios. The authors consider a wide range of ureteral diseases, including urinary stone disease, transitional cell carcinoma, and infection. For each disease, they discuss the imaging findings and how they can guide clinical decision-making.
Informative Images
Throughout the book, the authors utilize high-quality images to illustrate the imaging findings. These images are carefully selected to demonstrate both normal anatomy and pathological conditions. The inclusion of detailed captions ensures that readers understand the key features of each image and their clinical significance.
