Atlas of Radiologic Measurement

This new edition of a respected classic is the most comprehensive and up-to-date compendium of radiologic measurements, covering the full scope of diagnostic radiology CT, ultrasound, plain film, and MRI--as applied to all organ systems. The chapters on organ systems have been completely updated to include newer measurements using the latest modalities. With content nearly double the previous edition, and more than 315 new illustrations and drawings, this valuable resource continues to be the gold standard in radiologic measurement.

Outstanding illustrations illuminate difficult concepts and enhance learning

Incorporates measurements most useful to clinical practice

Provides practical, useful and authoritative information as the standard reference of radiologic measurement for practitioners and researchers

Contains the latest information in the field, and new, increased coverage of key topics, more than doubling the contents from the previous edition.

New sections dealing with quantitative methods for diagnosis and prediction, including ultrasound of the pylorus for hypertrophic stenosis, Doppler ultrasound of native renal arteries for stenosis, and detection of hepatic iron overload from magnetic resonance.

Newly added semi-quantitative methods include a scoring system for ovarian masses, grading of avascular necrosis of the hip, and Bayesian analysis for predicting malignancy in pulmonary nodules.
