ExpertDDx

Highly practical and user-friendly, ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis, third edition, helps you reach accurate, clinically useful differential diagnoses in your everyday practice. It presents the most useful differential diagnoses for each region of the abdomen and pelvis, grouped according to anatomic location, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, or clinical-based indications. Each differential diagnosis includes several high-quality, succinctly annotated images; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues. It’s an excellent resource for subspecialty abdominal imagers as well as general radiologists and trainees, providing invaluable assistance in reaching logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical details.

• Covers 175 of the most common diagnostic challenges in abdominal and pelvic imaging, enhanced by more than 2,100 radiologic images, full-color illustrations, clinical and histologic photographs, and gross pathology images
• Provides a quick review of the salient features of each entity, differentiating features from other similar-appearing abnormalities
• Includes new chapters on hematuria, flank pain, acute scrotal pain, and seminal vesicle
• Adds greater focus to advancing prostate imaging methods with expanded content on lesions in the peripheral zone and lesions in the transition zone, as well as new coverage of transplant imaging
• Contains updates to numerous classifications, including LI-RADS for liver, O-RADS for ovarian masses, and the Tanaka classification for pancreatic cysts
• Features new MR examples and MR-specific diagnoses throughout, plus new differentials for contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings related to liver and kidney lesions
• Includes the enhanced eBook version, which allows you to search all text, figures, and references on a variety of devices
