Radiology of the Stomach and Duodenum

A number of imaging techniques, many of them complementary, are used in the investigation and treatment of disorders of the stomach and duodenum. Optimal patient treatment requires a thorough knowledge of the application of these techniques, as well as a sound understanding of pathology of the stomach and its presenting symptomatology. This well-illustrated book covers the various investigative methods in detail, discussing their advantages and disadvantages and explaining their role in specific settings. It will be of great value to both trainee and experienced radiologists, and should assist in promoting effective and judicious patient management.

"This book extensively covers endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound of the stomach and duodenum. Numerous illustrations of both endoscopic views and endoscopic ultrasound are included. … The book is aimed at practicing radiologists or endoscopists to show the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques of examining the upper GI tract. The authors, well known gastrointestinal radiologists, do an excellent job of reviewing different modalities. … The excellent demonstrations of these are in a format that will help radiologists, endoscopists, and surgeons understand the illustrations."
