This book, first of its kind and written by leading experts, offers a comprehensive review of imaging of the whole body based on correlating the radiologic findings with gross and microscopic pathology . Taking advantage of all imaging modalities, the authors give detailed descriptions of radiologic presentations with pathologic correlation, of a broad spectrum of diseases from most organ systems, including the nervous system, head and neck, chest, gastrointestinal and urogenital system, musculoskeletal system and breast. The book helps the clinician to apply the principles of radiologic-pathologic correlation to the interpretation of radiologic studies and therefore to better understand the clinical and pathologic implications of the radiologic appearance. Furthermore this radiologic-pathologic correlation allows to refine the differential diagnosis in key disease entities of the main organ systems. The book is richly illustrated with high-resolution images, many of them in color, and will serve as a unique source of information for radiologists, gastroenterologists, gastrointestinal surgeons, pathologists, gynecologists, urologists and oncologists.

Zusammenfassung
We are proud to offer this unique textbook,the first in Radiology, The International Congress of Radiology, its class presenting state-of-the-art radiologic images of The Radiological Society of North America Assembly, the entire body correlated with underlying pathology. among others made us believe that radiologists,as well This book is based on a categorical course presented for as pathologists and other specialists,would enjoy hav- 3 years at recent European Congresses of Radiology and ing in a single source the best of class in this educati- covers from head to toe,key aspects of human disease al method. This book is indeed a global effort since it - lending themselves well to the correlation of modern sembles the leading authorities in all major organ imaging techniques with microscopic and gross pathol- systems who use radiologicpathologic correlation as a ogy. Obviously, the most suitable candidate for radio- research and teaching method. Many of the chapter - logicpathologic correlation is the study of neoplasms, thors have dedicated the bulk of their professional life to since they are resected ideally in toto and therefore offer educating radiologists throughout the world using this excellent grossimaging comparisons. Although there is method. There are experts from 12 European countries a wealth of educational material based on radiolog- and the USA.
