CROHN'S DISEASE. CURRENT CONCEPTS

- Contains recent progresses related to inflammatory bowel disease, benefiting radiologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons involved in the treatment and care of patients
- Includes the latest advances in imaging, such as CT and MR Enterography, diffusion and perfusion imaging, tissue harmonic imaging, capsule endoscopy and push enteroscopy
- Detailed advances in medical and surgical treatment useful to readers and professionals keen to implement these techniques

This book will incorporate a multimodality approach toward inflammatory bowel diseases. Up to date imaging methodologies will be described along with their strengths and weaknesses that will help in providing a rational diagnostic strategy for clinical, surgical and support teams working with these patients. Advances in medical and surgical treatment would be detailed and these would be useful to readers and professionals keen to implement these techniques in their own clinical practice.
