Imaging of Soft
Tissue Tumors
October 2013 / Hardcover
Approx. 776 pp.
9781451116410
DESCRIPTION
Imaging technology plays an essential role in the diagnosis of soft
tissue tumors as well as in surgical planning. Not only can imaging
studies such as CT and MRI determine the relationship between a tumor
and adjacent vessels and nerves, but, because some soft tissue tumors
possess specific radiologic presentations, imaging can help pinpoint
the tumor type.Based on cases seen at the Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology and the Mayo Clinic, this comprehensive reference offers
detailed visually supported information on the radiologic evaluation of
soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions. Inside, readers will explore
the full spectrum of soft tissue pathologies, with over 1400 images that
highlight both common and atypical presentations. The book’s expert
authors offer valuable advice on selecting the most appropriate imaging
modality for each tumor type.
