Radiology of the Pancreas discusses the diagnostic role of the various imaging modalities currently available for the assessment of pancreatic anatomy and disease. In comparison with the first edition, new technical developments (helical CT, ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging, color Doppler ultrasound, laparoscopic ultrasound), have been included, and several chapters have been significantly expanded. With the aid of numerous illustrations, the normal radiological anatomy, anatomical variants, the typical and atypical radiological features of both common and uncommon diseases, and potential pitfalls are considered in depth. All of the chapters have been written by recognized experts in the field, and the book should be of value to all radiologists and other specialists who treat patients with panreatic disease or who have an interest in the subject.

In this monography we report some confrontations of CT and ana tomical data recorded during the last years in Leuven, Bruxelles and Strasbourg, three neighbouring universities. This material represents only a small part of our cases, but we have selected those which seemed the most suited for didactic purposes. This study is made in the traditional european way and confronts the data of an investigation with the examination of the corresponding anatomic specimen. Obviously this is only possible in very few cases. But then, these cases provide a striking demonstration of the morphol ogy of lesions seen at CT. Our aim was to provide material for teaching. This book is the first part of a trilogy; the two others deal with the pathology of the trunk. A. WACKENHEIM, L. JEANMART, A.L.
