Klappentext zu „Evidence-Based Imaging “
Evidence-Based Imaging presents the radiologist with a user-friendly guide to the evidence-based science and the merit behind the diagnostic imaging studies performed in medicine. This book gives the reader a clinically relevant overview of epidemiology, selection of subjects for imaging, selection of imaging strategies, imaging test performance and cost, cost-effectiveness analysis, and applicability to children. Nine major areas of medical imaging are covered, with an emphasis on common diseases. These include Oncology, Neuroimaging, Gastroenterology, Pediatrics, Respiratory System, Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Trauma, and Urologic.Radiologists, clinicians, residents, and others with an interest in medical imaging and a desire to keep current with the vast amount of evidence-based literature will find this text extremely useful.

Pressezitat
From the reviews:Radiology 2008
" ...All radiologists will benefit from this important work ... This text clearly presents the imaging approaches that are best supported by the evidence. The thoughtful analysis and detailed references will be of benefit to an academic radiologist investigating a particular issue. It will also be of great use to a general radiologist when presented with the question of what is the most effective test to be performed in a particular patient."
(Robert A. Halvorsen, Jr, MD; Radiology: Volume 247: Number 2 - May 2008)
"Evidence-based Imaging presents the radiologist and clinician with a user friendly guide to evidence-based science and the merit behind the diagnostic imaging studies performed in medicine.
The 30 chapters cover the most prevalent diseases in developed countries, including the major causes of mortality and morbidity, ie injury, coronary artery disease, cancer and cerebrovascular disease. Most chapters have been written by radiologists in close collaboration with clinical physicians and surgeons to provide a balanced and fair analysis of the different medical topics.
To make the book user friendly and to enable fast access to pertinent information, the authors have organised all of the chapters in the same format. The chapters are framed around important and provocative clinical questions relevant to a physician's daily practice. Key points and summarised answers to the important clinical issues are at the beginning of the chapters so that the busy clinician can understand the most important evidence-based imaging data in seconds.
By offering a clear understanding of the science behind the evidence, the book fills a void for radiologists, clinicians and others with an interest in medical imaging and a desire to implement an evidence-based approach.
I heartly recommend this test to everyone with aspirations to improve their delivery of medical care to
