Diagnostic imaging techniques for urological examinations

The introduction briefly reviews fundamentals, methodology and techniques of conventional X-ray diagnostics, ultrasonic scanning, and CT. The following chapters, placed under the leading title 'Specialized diagnostics', deal with the urogenital system and the neighbouring body areas and are arranged by specific organs. The urogenital system diseases are presented by keywords in tabular form, and the radiomorphological criteria are explained, supported by numerous graphical representations. The text parts are supplemented by an evaluative analysis of the various diagnostic methods and by information on best suitable applications of the methods. There also is an extensive collection of illustrations that round up the information presented to a complete and exhaustive survey. (orig./MG) With 3 tabs., 400 figs
