Gastroenterology and Hepatology remain highly visual
specialties, in part because of the tremendous accessibility of the
luminal gastrointestinal tract to endoscopic examination and biopsy, and
other internal digestive organs to advanced imaging modalities and
sampling. Thus, in addition to standard views of cross-sectional imaging
and histopathologic analysis used in many disorders, the field
encompasses multimodal endoscopic imaging, which has continued to
advance over the last decade. This sixth edition of Yamada's Atlas of Gastroenterology
continues to offer diverse images that provide an overview of the field
of digestive diseases, and aims to provide a synopsis through pictures
and illustrations rather than through text. Consequently, this Atlas is
designed to complement and accompany the primary textbook in the field,
the seventh edition of Yamada’s Textbook of Gastroenterology.
This
newest edition of the Atlas presents a wealth of pictorial material
designed to provide a highly informative snapshot of major
gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatobiliary diseases. Every GI
disorder from liver abscesses, endocrine neoplasms of the pancreas, to
motility disorders of the esophagus are fully illustrated through the
use of endoscopic and transabdominal ultrasonographs, computed
tomography scans, magnetic resonance images, radionuclide images,
angiograms, and high resolution manometry, in addition to histopathology
and cytology. The Atlas includes over 2000 exceptional images,
organized by disease entity and therapeutic modality, including
histopathology slides, MRI and CT scans, endoscopy, EUS, and open
surgery images.
Boasting an outstanding editorial
team and 200 chapter authors, who are internationally renowned experts
in their fields of expertise, Yamada’s Atlas of Gastroenterology
is designed for a wide spectrum of readers, including students,
residents, fellows and other trainees, practicing clinicians, professors
and related specialists. For a busy trainee or clinician seeking a
quick introduction to the spectrum of GI diseases, Yamada's Atlas of Gastroenterology
represents a practical and useful introduction to important disorders,
and brings to life the salient points of the topic accurately and
comprehensively.
