Evidence-Based Imaging Improving the Quality of Imaging in Patient Care / [recurso electrónico] : edited by L. Santiago Medina, C. Craig Blackmore, Kimberly Applegate. - XX, 680 p. 264 illus., 20 illus. in color. online resource.
Part I: Principles, Methodology, Economics, and Radiation Risk -- Principles of Evidence-Based Imaging -- Critically Assessing the Literature: Understanding Error and Bias -- Radiation Risk from Medical Imaging: A Special Need to Focus on Children -- The Economic and Regulatory Impact of Evidence-Based Medicine on Radiology -- Part II: Oncologic Imaging -- Breast Imaging -- Imaging of Lung Cancer -- Imaging-Based Screening for Colorectal Cancer -- Imaging of Brain Cancer -- Imaging in the Evaluation of Patients with Prostate Cancer -- Part III: Neuroimaging -- Neuroimaging in Alzheimer Disease -- Neuroimaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke -- Pediatric Sickle Cell Disease and Stroke -- Neuroimaging for Traumatic Brain Injury -- Neuroimaging of Seizures -- Adults and Children with Headaches: Evidence-Based Role of Neuroimaging -- Imaging Evaluation of Sinusitis: Impact on Health Outcome -- Part IV: Musculoskeletal Imaging -- Imaging of Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis in Children and Adults -- Imaging for Knee and Shoulder Problems -- Pediatric Fractures of the Ankle -- -- Imaging of Adults with Low Back Pain in the Primary Care Setting -- Imaging of the Spine in Victims of Trauma -- Imaging of Spine Disorders in Children: Dysraphism and Scoliosis -- Part V: Cardiovascular and Chest Imaging -- Imaging of the Solitary Pulmonary Nodule -- Cardiac Evaluation: The Current Status of Outcomes-Based Imaging -- Imaging in the Evaluation of Pulmonary Embolism -- Aorta and Peripheral Vascular Disease -- Imaging of the Cervical Carotid Artery for Atherosclerotic Stenosis -- Blunt Injuries to the Thorax and Abdomen -- Part VI: Abdominal and Pelvic Imaging -- Imaging of Appendicitis in Adult and Pediatric Patients -- Imaging in Non-Appendiceal Acute Abdominal Pain -- Intussusception in Children: Diagnostic Imaging and Treatment -- Imaging of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) -- Imaging of Biliary Disorders: Cholecystitis, Bile Duct Obstruction, Stones, and Stricture -- Hepatic Disorders: Colorectal Cancer Metastases, Cirrhosis, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma -- Imaging of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children -- Imaging of Nephrolithiasis and Its Complications in Adults and Children -- Urinary Tract Infection in Infants and Children -- Current Issues in Gynecology: Screening for Ovarian Cancer in the Average Risk Population and Diagnostic Evaluation of Postmenopausal Bleeding -- Imaging of Female Children and Adolescents with Abdominopelvic Pain Caused by Gynecological Pathologies -- Imaging of Boys with an Acute Scrotum: Differentiation of Testicular Torsion from Other Causes -- Index.
Evidence-Based Imaging: Quality Imaging in Patient Care, Revised Edition presents the radiologist and clinician with a user-friendly guide to the evidence-based science and the merit behind the diagnostic imaging performed in medicine. Edited by Drs. L. Santiago Medina, C. Craig Blackmore, and Kimberly E. Applegate, this ideal reference gathers contributions by internationally-renowned specialists in the field. The book provides a systematic framework for understanding the best imaging choices for patient care. Chapters highlight key points that support the clinical applications, allowing fast access to pertinent information. Topics include patient selection, imaging strategies, test performance, cost-effectiveness, and applicability. This Revised Edition adds ten new chapters to the material from the original, hardcover edition, covering radiation risk in medical imaging, the economic and regulatory impact of evidence-based imaging in the new healthcare reform environment in the United States, and new topics on common disorders. By offering a clear understanding of the science behind the evidence, the book fills a void for radiologists, clinicians, residents, and others with an interest in medical imaging and a desire to implement an evidence-based approach.
