commonly encountered pelvic pathologies. The content is developed by disease-focused experts aiming to share their
experience to make the information easily applicable to clinical setting and research.
The book covers a wide range of pelvic pathologies, and each chapter focuses on problem-solving approaches and
includes tips and advice for multiple real-world scenarios. It also provides comprehensive-yet-tailored protocols, clear
guidelines for indications, a detailed discussion of pathologies, descriptions of important differential diagnoses, and pitfalls and their solutions.
It is a valuable resource for radiologists, researchers, clinicians, and members of medical and biomedical fields who need
to understand better how to use MRI to base their diagnosis or advance their research work.
- Covers the most common pelvic conditions to help readers manage complex cases of pelvic MRI encountered indaily practice.
- Written by experienced and passionate disease-focused experts encompassing several real-world examples.
- Provides valuable knowledge through a practice-based, image-rich approach, covering topics ranging from basicanatomy to advanced clinical implications.
- Discusses a broad spectrum of diseases and pathologies of the pelvic region to assist readers from different fields ofmedicine, including oncology, urology, obstetrics, and gynecology or urogynecology.
