Comprehensive textbook of Clinical Radiology is a fully integrated illustrated textbook of radiology to cater for residents and practising radiologists. It is a one-stop solution for all academic needs in radiology. It helps radiologists as a single reference book to gain complete knowledge instead of referring to multiple resources. More than 500 authors recognized experts in their subspeciality, have contributed to this book. To meet the expectations of clinical radiologists, thorough clinical expertise and familiarity with all the imaging modalities appropriate to address their clinical questions are necessary, regardless of one’s favoured subspeciality. To keep the content relevant to them, we have tried to stay upgraded to their level. This book comprises six volumes, which gives information on Radiological Anatomy, Embryology, Nomogram, Normal Variants, Physics, Imaging Techniques, and all the aspects of Diagnostic Radiology including Neuroradiology, Head and Neck, Chest and CVS, Abdomen, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Breast, Musculoskeletal and Multisystem Disorders & related Interventional techniques. It will serve as a primary reference for residents and subspeciality trainees and fellows to facilitate their learning in preparation for their examination, and also the consultant radiologists in their daily clinical practice.

This volume is subdivided into five sections. Section 7 discusses the normal anatomy, nomograms and normal values, embryology, common paediatric pathologies of the abdomen and pelvis, and conventional and advanced imaging techniques of the abdomen and pelvis. Section 8 enumerates the pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract and hollow viscus of the abdomen. The section discusses the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, large bowel, rectum and anal canal. Section 9 describes the hepatobiliary system and the spleen. The development, normal anatomy, paediatric pathologies and anomalies, adult pathologies, oncology of liver, gallbladder, hepatobiliary tree, pancreas and spleen are enumerated. Section 10 describes the urinary system from the Nephrology / Nephrosurgery point of view. The section begins with the anatomy and paediatric pathologies. It describes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, adrenals and retroperitoneum. Section 11 covers the reproductive system from anatomy to recent advances like MRgFUs, common ones to rare uncommon lesions and paediatric lesions up to interventions. Practical points of doing TVS, 3D USG and penile Doppler are given due importance. A new modality MRI hysterosalpingography is introduced to avoid radiation to ovaries. Normal variants and nomogram measurements are covered under one roof. Signs in reproductive imaging prepare the reader to spot the diagnosis and train for the quiz.
