CT Colonography: Principles and Practice of Virtual Colonoscopy

In
CT Colonography, Perry Pickhardt and David Kim present techniques for
quicker evaluation and diagnosis of colon cancer through the pioneering,
specialty-changing imaging technique of virtual colonoscopy (VC). This
combination of sophisticated X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen offers
patients an alternative to colonoscopy that is cost effective and
reduces the need for unnecessary polyp removal. Abundantly illustrated
in full color, this pioneering book describes CT colonography from
pathogenesis, staging and treatment through indications, technique, and
interpretation for the most common pathologies. You’ll have the full
spectrum of VC technique and be able to see procedures performed through
video clips on the included DVD (only book here for download).
*Covers principles, techniques, and interpretations for the most common pathologies in a logical, practical organization.
*Presents tips from the authors on setting up a VC practice to provide a personal, instructive guide.
*Provides over 1000 full-color, high-resolution anatomic images
throughout for the clearest, most accurate picture of colorectal cancer,
its natural history, and its diagnosis by VC.
*Focuses on images, with the text serving as context for the proper use and understanding of VC
