Geriatric Imaging Paperback / softback
Edited by Giuseppe Guglielmi, Wilfred C. G. Peh, Ali Guermazi
Paperback / softback
Description
In the elderly, the coexistence of various diseases, the presence of involutional and degenerative changes, and the occurrence of both physical and cognitive problems represent “the norm.” It is therefore important to know how to distinguish the healthy elderly from those in need of treatment as a sound basis for avoiding overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
This aspect is a central theme in Geriatric Imaging, which covers a wide range of applications of different imaging techniques and clearly explains both the potential and the limitations of diagnostic imaging in geriatric patients.
Individual sections are devoted to each major region or system of the body, and a concluding section focuses specifically on interventional procedures.
The book, written by recognized experts in the field, is superbly illustrated and will be an ideal resource for geriatricians, radiologists, and trainees.
