La TC spirale multistrato rappresenta attualmente la metodica diagnostica di riferimento per le condizioni cliniche di emergenza-urgenza traumatiche e non traumatiche del distretto body. La possibilità di far riferimento ad apparecchiature a 16 o 64 file di detettori con acquisizioni volumetriche ottenute in pochi secondi, associata all’utilizzo del mezzo di contrasto e ad elaborazioni delle immagini con work-station in cui la trasmissione è immediata, costituisce la premessa per risolvere le complesse problematiche diagnostiche riguardanti l’emergenza-urgenza e fornire il relativo referto radiologico in tempi estremamente contenuti. Lo scopo di questo testo è di fornire al Radiologo, attraverso la presentazione di casi clinici, una metodologia rigorosa di applicazione dei protocolli di studio con mezzo di contrasto multifasici e consentire, attraverso diagnosi altamente accurate, l’adeguato trattamento terapeutico contribuendo in molte circostanze a "salvare la vita" all’ammalato.

This book provides an overview on the critical role of diagnostic imaging in the assessment of patients with suspected alimentary tract perforation, an emergent condition that requires prompt surgery. With the aid of numerous high-quality images, it is described how different imaging modalities, including plain film X-ray, ultrasonography, and multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), permit correct diagnosis of the presence and cause of the perforation and of associated pathologies. Particular attention is paid to MDCT, with full description of its role in a range of scenarios at various levels of the alimentary tract. Imaging of GI tract perforation in different patient groups, such as pediatric patients, the elderly, and oncologic patients, is also addressed. This volume will greatly assist residents in radiology, radiologists, and physicians who are daily involved in the management of patients with clinically suspected alimentary tract perforation.

Diagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. Accordingly, every radiologist should understand the various sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation. The principal focus of this book is on the diagnostic errors that may be perpetrated when using diverse radiologic techniques in different disease settings. The full spectrum of potential errors is analyzed with the aid of high-quality illustrations and with clear guidance on their avoidance. In addition, medicolegal aspects inherent to radiology are carefully examined, with particular attention to radiation exposure due to imaging procedures and malpractice issues relating to administration of contrast media. The importance of good communication between radiologists and physicians and between radiologists and patients is also emphasized. Errors in Radiology will prove immensely valuable to both novice and more experienced radiologists.
