Foreword
Emergency Radiology of the Abdomen
Imaging Features and Differential Diagnosis for a Timely Management
Approach
Things may at the same time become more difficult and easier. This very
general remark also applies to the topic of this book ‘‘Emergency Radiology of
the Abdomen’’. On one hand state-of-the-art imaging technologies allow for a
straight forward diagnosis in many cases of acute abdomen, trauma to the
abdomen and other emergency conditions related to diseases of abdominal
organs. On the other hand, radiologists have to be more and more aware of
clinical entities and pathological conditions in order to fulfil their duty, namely
to provide our clinical partners with practically useful information.
It is not so long ago, that surgeons had to perform laparotomy in order to
make a definite diagnosis in cases of ambiguous clinical findings concerning the
status of the abdominal organs. Nowadays, imaging has become so precise and
reliable, that in almost all cases a definitive diagnosis can be established before
patients undergo surgery or
in order
to prevent unnecessary surgical
procedures.
Since we talk about potentially life threatening disorders and diseases, the
diagnostic imaging is a critical issue. Therefore, radiologists have to be aware of
the clinical needs, the great variability of disorders, which may only be cate-
gorized correctly in view of the clinical history and clinical findings. Conse-
quently, close cooperation and common understanding with emergency
physicians are indispensable.
I would like to thank the editors of this edition of Medical Radiology/
Diagnostic Imaging for their initiative and for bringing together experts in the
field. Considering the steadily increasing importance of diagnostic imaging in
the management of patients with acute symptoms of the abdomen, this work
may become an indispensible guide for many radiologists and clinicians. I
would also like to thank all authors of the various chapters of this edition for
their contribution and for the willingness to share their expertise with the
readers of this book.
