      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 three sections. Section 1 covers the principles of clinical radiology and deals with basic to advanced aspects of general radiology. The physics of each imaging modality is described in detail for radiology residents. Principles of pathology, genetics and statistics important for radiologists from research point of view are enumerated. Basic principles of medicine including management of contrast reactions, basic and advanced life support which are important for radiologists in day to day practice are dealt in dedicated chapter. Section 2 covers the multisystem disorders that affect multiple body systems either at the same time or over a period of time. Imaging plays a vital role in identifying the extent of systems involved and also in diagnosis by recognising the pattern of systems involved. The last part of the section deals with the general principles of oncoimaging dealing with multisystem involvement and facilitates easier understanding of this complex subject. The format is ideal for both in-depth knowledge and daily reference. Section 3 covers head and neck imaging, anatomy of neck, techniques of imaging and paediatric neck. In addition, all neck spaces and lymph nodes are discussed with anatomy and pathology with high-quality images and line diagrams. Orbits, temporal bone, sinuses and skull base are included with discussion on imaging anatomy, variants and pathologies. Cancer imaging, PETCT and post-operative imaging are fully discussed along with TNM imaging. Unique chapters on Sleep apnea, Emergency Radiology, Dental imaging, Superficial and trans-spatial lesions and Imaging of all cranial nerves are included.

      Au cœur de l’enseignement de base des études de kinésithérapie, la morpho-palpation et l’anatomie palpatoire reposent sur l'observation des reliefs et des formes des différentes régions du corps humains et sur l'action de toucher pour sentir, découvrir le corps humain. Véritable « science de l'œil et du toucher », elle permet de découvrir les caractéristiques anatomiques de tous les patients, quelle que soit leur morphologie.Cet ouvrage a pour objectif :d’une part faire un état des lieux morphologique, en tenant compte de tous les éléments interférents ;d’autre part montrer qu’un bon résultat morpho-palpatoire est le fruit d’un bon geste soutenu par une technique révélatrice. La connaissance théorique intellectuelle ne suffit pas, le « savoir-faire » est indispensable ;ensuite lister les structures pouvant faire l’objet d’une investigation visuelle et palpatoire et de quitter l’idée d’un modèle imaginaire et moyen afin d’aborder la réalité, masculine ou féminine, sujet maigre ou enrobé, jeune ou vieux, voire le sujet sain ou le sujet pathologique ;enfin corroborer ces affirmations à la vérification réaliste et concrète sur le cadavre frais c’est-à-dire, tonus musculaire en moins, sur un sujet semblable à en tout point à un patient potentiel, avec ses variantes normales.Après une introduction, l’ouvrage est découpé en 2 grandes parties et 8 grands chapitres : Abord morpho-anthropologiq... abord morphologique, palpation osseuse, palpation articulaire, palpation musculaire, palpation viscérale thoracique, palpation viscérale abdominale, palpation viscérale pelvienne.Bénéfician... d’une maquette en couleur, l’ouvrage propose une approche originale et pédagogique, qui met l’accent sur la systématisation des informations, qui permet de trouver rapidement l’information pertinente étayée par une riche iconographie inédite et de très grande qualité de 800 clichés, où de nombreuses figures sont des diptyques de photos accolées représentatives des morphologies. Les photographies mettent l'accent sur la mise en relief des détails anatomiques les plus importants.
