Women's Imaging

This comprehensive text/reference on womens imaging is specifically designed for the radiology market. In radiology, as in other specialties, complete medical management of women is emerging as a subspecialty. Imaging studies are the most commonly requested diagnostic study and, given the trend described above and the need to treat the whole patient, there is a growing need for this text, which integrates all imaging modalities with disease detection, prognosis, and management of major conditions affecting women. Chronologically organized to address the needs of the young nonpregnant woman, the pregnant woman, the postpartum woman, the woman in early adult life, and the woman in midlife, this volume covers imaging of the breast, pelvis, abdomen, chest, cardiac and vascular systems, bones, urinary tract, and thyroid and endocrine system; imaging as applied to infertility, contraception, pregnancy termination, osteoporosis, incontinence, hormonal changes, cancer screening, and the battered woman, and an overview of the politics and history of the delivery of womens health care. Radiologic-pathologic correlations are included.
