ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis, 3rd Edition 

ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis, third edition, is an authoritative and comprehensive resource for radiologists, imaging specialists, and medical professionals. Written by Atif Zaheer MD, Siva P. Raman MD, Bryan R. Foster MD, and Ghaneh Fananapazir MD, this book is highly practical, easy to use, and designed to help you reach accurate, clinically useful differential diagnoses in your everyday practice.

With 175 of the most common diagnostic challenges in abdominal and pelvic imaging and over 2,100 radiologic images, full-color illustrations, clinical and histologic photographs, and gross pathology images, ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis is an excellent resource for subspecialty abdominal imagers as well as general radiologists and trainees. The book provides valuable assistance in reaching logical, on-target differential diagnoses based on key imaging findings and clinical details.

ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis is organized by anatomic location, generic imaging findings, modality-specific findings, or clinical-based indications. Each differential diagnosis includes several high-quality, succinctly annotated images; a list of diagnostic possibilities sorted as common, less common, and rare but important; and brief, bulleted text offering helpful diagnostic clues. This approach makes it easier for readers to review the salient features of each entity and to differentiate features from other similar-appearing abnormalities.

This third edition of ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis includes new chapters on hematuria, flank pain, acute scrotal pain, and seminal vesicle. It also adds greater focus to advancing prostate imaging methods with expanded content on lesions in the peripheral zone and lesions in the transition zone, as well as new coverage of transplant imaging. The book contains updates to numerous classifications, including LI-RADS for liver, O-RADS for ovarian masses, and the Tanaka classification for pancreatic cysts.

ExpertDDx: Abdomen and Pelvis features new MR examples and MR-specific diagnoses throughout, plus new differentials for contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings related to liver and kidney lesions. This makes it a timeless resource that can be relied upon, even as medical technology and diagnostic techniques continue to advance.

In terms of format, the book is presented in eBook digital format and contains 650 pages.
