    À l’hôpital ou en privé, l’imagerie par résonance magnétique est devenue, pour le radiologue, un examen de pratique quotidienne. Ce guide, résolument pratique, propose pour chaque type d’examen : • une liste de points à analyser de façon systématique sous la forme d’une « check-list »; • une analyse descriptive et sémiologique de chacune des images présentées ; • un développement stratégique consacré au choix de l’examen d’imagerie, à la technique et aux points d’interprétation. Les entrées abordées correspondent à des motifs de consultation et sont spécifiquement adaptées à la pratique quotidienne. Ainsi, ce guide propose toutes les informations nécessaires à l’interprétation correcte des différents examens mais aussi les données sémiologiques et stratégiques permettant au médecin une rédaction claire et précise de son compte rendu. Le contenu, plus structuré, permet un accès rapide à l'essentiel : textes courts et énumératifs avec des encadrés spécifiques pour les alertes et les risques de confusion. Le radiologue accède ainsi à l'information de manière rapide, en lien direct avec sa pratique quotidienne, à l'hôpital ou en clinique privée. Le pictogramme, représentant une bombe, permet de souligner les éventuels pièges à éviter. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux radiologues débutants ou confirmés, étant amenés à pratiquer l’IRM dans leur activité clinique, quel que soit leur domaine de spécialisation.

  • Ethics, Conflict and Medical Treatment for Children

    From disagreement to dissensus
    • 1st Edition
    • Dominic Wilkinson + 1 more
    • English
    What should happen when doctors and parents disagree about what would be best for a child? When should courts become involved? Should life support be stopped against parents’ wishes? The case of Charlie Gard, reached global attention in 2017. It led to widespread debate about the ethics of disagreements between doctors and parents, about the place of the law in such disputes, and about the variation in approach between different parts of the world. In this book, medical ethicists Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu critically examine the ethical questions at the heart of disputes about medical treatment for children. They use the Gard case as a springboard to a wider discussion about the rights of parents, the harms of treatment, and the vital issue of limited resources. They discuss other prominent UK and international cases of disagreement and conflict. From opposite sides of the debate Wilkinson and Savulescu provocatively outline the strongest arguments in favour of and against treatment. They analyse some of the distinctive and challenging features of treatment disputes in the 21st century and argue that disagreement about controversial ethical questions is both inevitable and desirable. They outline a series of lessons from the Gard case and propose a radical new ‘dissensus’ framework for future cases of disagreement. .
