| Summary, etc. | This work presents the entire urogenital system in a methodical and thorough fashion.<br/>It is a highly topical book given that the progress achieved by diagnostic imaging in<br/>this body system has profoundly changed our way of operating and examining<br/>urogenital disease.<br/>The most evident example of this change in diagnostic imaging is intravenous<br/>urography. Until a few years ago this technique was considered the reference<br/>examination for many renal and urinary tract diseases, whereas today it has largely<br/>been replaced by ultrasonography, CT urography and MR urography.<br/>This is not to suggest that urography has completely disappeared from the<br/>radiologic scene, because its imaging characteristics can be transferred to CT<br/>urography and MR urography. It is however clear that the CT and MR studies are able<br/>to provide – in a single examination – information regarding the renal parenchyma<br/>and the collecting system, the adjacent organs and structures, and functional and<br/>vascular characteristics, all of which cannot be captured in a simple urographic<br/>examination.<br/>This change has come about not only in intravenous urography, but also in other<br/>forms of imaging of the urinary tract, such as antegrade and retrograde pyelography,<br/>which today is limited to only a few and principally interventional or intraoperative<br/>applications. However, the most important change in the imaging of the urogenital<br/>system, as with other organs and systems, is the broadening of the diagnostic imaging<br/>spectrum. Today the radiologist is involved on a number of fronts, from diagnosis –<br/>intended as the identification of a lesion, its characterization and, in the case of<br/>oncologic disease, its staging – to prognosis and follow-up. Added to these are<br/>functional evaluations such as can be obtained with Doppler ultrasonography,<br/>spectroscopy and dynamic studies with contrast media.<br/>In this work Olivetti and Grazioli manage to provide thorough and up-dated<br/>information on all of these aspects, with a highly topical and modern interpretation<br/>of contemporary radiology of the urogenital system.<br/>The book is divided into nine sections, beginning with the anatomy of the urinary<br/>tract which is accompanied by excellent illustrations, some of which can be found in<br/>the later chapters. The presentation of normal anatomy is followed by radiologic<br/>anatomy, which includes urography, angiography, standard ultrasonography, color<br/>Doppler and contrast enhanced ultrasonography, computed tomography complete<br/>with CT urography, magnetic resonance with MR angiography and MR urography.<br/>This is followed by chapters on the normal human anatomy and radiologic anatomy<br/>of the male and female reproductive systems which, are organized in the same way as<br/>the previous chapters.<br/>The following sections deal with clinical features and imaging of the various organs<br/>and systems. Particularly worthwhile in terms of content and images are the sections<br/>dedicated to malformations, lithiasis, and renal and urinary tract neoplasms. In the<br/>oncologic setting special attention is paid to the problems associated with tumor<br/>recurrences in the male and female reproductive systems. Similarly interesting and |
| Expansion of summary note | topical is the section on female pelvic floor dysfunction and its evaluation with new<br/>technologies. The last section deals with interventional radiology in its various forms<br/>and includes chapters on biopsies, the treatment of varicocele, drainage and<br/>embolization.<br/>My sincere congratulations go to Olivetti and Grazioli for this fine book which<br/>clearly reflects not only their professionalism, but also their passion and enthusiasm<br/>for our discipline. |
