    Colonoscopy is the bread and butter for endoscopists and advances in the procedure to reduce time, improve efficiency, and prevent errors are very important for this group. The newest advances look at colonoscopy efficiency and a better way to target tissue sampling, which avoids random biopsies and instead looks at ways to predict areas for sampling. The Guest Editors have selected top experts to provide these important updates and they also address current thinking that questions the continued value of colonoscopies as predictors of colon cancer. The issue will be a very popular one, and it needs to be heavily promoted.

  • Traité d'imagerie vasculaire

    • 1st Edition
    • Francis Joffre
    • French
    Ce traité comble une importante lacune de l'imagerie vasculaire, puisqu'il actualise l'ensemble des données suite à l'explosion des nouvelles techniques d'imagerie. Depuis l'époque de l'angiographie diagnostique par cathétérisme vasculaire, l'imagerie des vaisseaux a subi une double révolution : - d'une part, l'essor de l'imagerie en coupes qui a pratiquement remplacé l'angiographie diagnostique, dans la plupart des situations cliniques, - d'autre part, l'explosion de la radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, qui conserve, dans beaucoup de situations, l'angiographie comme méthode de guidage. L'étude radiologique des vaisseaux se situe aujourd'hui au centre des discussions multidisciplinaires concernant la pathologie purement vasculaire, mais également la pathologie de beaucoup d'organes alimentés par ces vaisseaux. Ce traité offre une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'imagerie diagnostique des vaisseaux, la composante interventionnelle n'étant pas abordée. Il propose une mise au point des principales techniques actuellement utilisées, chaque territoire vasculaire étant abordé par un chapitre de radio-anatomie, suivi de chapitres touchant les principales pathologies rencontrées, avec trois axes de développement : particularités techniques, séméiologie radiologique et place de l'imagerie dans la prise en charge des patients. Ce traité est le résultat de la contribution d'auteurs éminents, pour la plupart membres particulièrement investis dans la Société française d'imagerie cardiaque et vasculaire (SFICV), société d'organe de la Société française de radiologie (SFR). Indispensable à l'ensemble des radiologistes et en particulier ceux ayant une activité de radiologie interventionnelle endovasculaire, cet ouvrage s'adresse également à tout médecin vasculaire, cardiologue, chirurgien vasculaire participant au nécessaire dialogue interdisciplinaire autour des patients porteurs de ces pathologies.
