Riassunto

In any radiology department worldwide, around 60–70% of investigations deal with surgical cases: trauma, tumors, pre- and postsurgical assessment, surgical follow-ups, and more. In spite of that, radiology has a lot to offer in the ? eld of internal medicine in terms of establishing, con? rming, or rejecting diagnoses, or favoring differential diagnoses. Before I joined radiology, I worked as an internal physician for almost a year and almost another year and half as a general surgeon. This clinical experience leads me to look at radiological images with the eye of a radiologist and the mind of a clinician when I examine patient radiological images. I even take a history and do a clinical examination if I have the chance when the patient is in the ultrasound, CT, or MRI room. I have always believed that the radiologist’s role is not con? ned to writing reports, but it can be broadened to establish the diagnosis in the ? rst hand in the same way as the clinician do. In the medical library, there are books dedicated to the clinical signs of internal medicine diseases; interestingly, there are no such books in the radiology library.

Recensione:

From the reviews:

“This unusual book superbly blends two specialties that are not commonly thought of together - internal medicine and radiology. ... The audience includes any clinicians looking for a practical book about the best imaging studies for particular situations. ... This results in a highly successful book. ... This is a very good book ... . It would be a great book for teaching institutions and residency training programs, as it brings together the imaging decision-making process with the anatomy and physiology that should be considered.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2010)

“A physician who practiced internal medicine and then surgery before he became a radiologist, the author explains that this book is designed to help radiologists think like internists ... . internists can likewise benefit from this book by learning what help radiologists can offer in establishing a diagnosis. ... much value to practicing internists and radiologists, residents in those specialties, and medical students, as well as physicians and allied health care personnel who deal with common medical problems of patients ... .” (Leonard Berlin, Journal of the American Medical Association, March, 2011)
