Overview

This book offers a practical, evidence-based casebook on abdominal imaging. As imaging is increasingly being used for most clinical scenarios, referring physicians rely on radiologists to provide evidence-based interpretation for the incidental and indication related findings seen on the imaging studies. While imagers are trained in identifying the findings, what makes a report more clinically relevant is the accurate assessment and a more focused differential based on knowing the pertinent evidence-based data that supports one diagnosis over the other or favors benign over malignant etiology. Imagers typically don’t have this information readily available to them to provide and make a more informed impression of the findings seen. For example, if a hyperdense renal lesion with attenuation of 80 HU is seen on the noncontrast stone protocol CT, it is important to know what is the likelihood this lesion is worrisome and if any further investigation is needed. While this information is available, it is scattered and one needs to acquire, synthesize, and collate this from the web. This casebook overcomes this void by providing this information in a simplified, case-based template that any reader can then quickly reference and use in their day-to-day work.  In addition, template language for dictation where relevant will be provided. Cases are organized around major abdominal areas, including bowel, genitourinary tract, and pancreas. Each case also includes a table of pearls and pitfalls to be learned and applied to everyday practice. This is an ideal guide for residents, fellows, and staff from radiology, as a day to day resource or board review book. Given the lack of a comprehensive text, this will be useful to all cadres of radiologists.
