Description
The modern approach to the investigation and treatment of diseases of the liver relies upon close co-operation between hepatologist, surgeon and radiologist and each must be aware of the other's problems. In particular the surgeon should know to what extent radiologist can help in pre-operative diagnosis, the assessment of respectability, the choice of surgical procedure and the detection of postoperative complications. On the other hand, the radiologist must be aware of the needs of the surgeon and be able to provide a preoperative diagnosis which is as accurate as possible and to convey detailed anatomical information about the location of the lesion. In order to achieve the latter, radiologist and surgeon must speak a common language - the language of Couinaud and segmental liver anatomy. This book aims to present well-documented material on liver ultrasound in a succinct fashion and in a readable style. Using illustrations and case histories, it should be of practical use to radiologists, hepatologists and surgeons alike.
