More about the book

The book covers a comprehensive range of topics related to liver anatomy, imaging techniques, and various liver conditions. It begins with an overview of anatomy and literature, followed by detailed sections on imaging methods such as sonography (including B-mode, duplex, color duplex, and intraoperative ultrasound), cholecystocholangiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography. The text also addresses interventional procedures and diagnostic techniques like isotope diagnostics and tumor markers. It explores congenital malformations and diffuse liver parenchymal diseases, including fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and conditions like hemochromatosis and portal hypertension, detailing their pathologies and imaging diagnostics. Focal liver lesions are examined, distinguishing between benign tumors (e.g., hemangiomas, hepatocellular adenomas) and malignant tumors (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma), along with their respective treatments. Additionally, the book discusses cystic liver changes, abscesses, liver transplantation—including indications and diagnostic procedures—and liver trauma, covering etiology, types of injuries, and therapeutic approaches. Each section emphasizes the importance of imaging in diagnosis and treatment, providing a thorough resource for understanding liver health and diseases.
