MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Providing a much-needed update on imaging of the spleen, introductory chapters discuss the normal anatomy and radiological appearances. Then, individual chapters document the imaging findings in a wide range of hematological, immunological, oncological, infectious, vascular, and systemic disorders. Splenic pathology in infancy and childhood is considered separately, and there is a chapter on interventional procedures. Informative differential diagnostic tables are also provided. This well-illustrated book will serve as an invaluable source of easily accessible information for both clinicians and radiologists.
