Radiology of Infectious Diseases: Volume 2 cover

This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious diseases. It starts with a general review of infection diseases, including their classification, characteristics and epidemiology. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce the radionuclide imaging of 50 kinds of infectious diseases. Volume 1 covers 21 viral infections. Volume 2 has 29 chapters discussing 24 bacterial infections and 5 parasitic infections. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious diseases.

“This new … is a welcome and timely contribution to the literature in the field. … The chapters are well illustrated with pathological and radiological images and illustrative cases, and the references are a useful source of further reading. … The contributors should be congratulated for producing this fine work of scholarship which will hopefully have a worldwide appeal, not only for radiologists but also physicians interested in this area of medicine.” (Dr. Arpan Banerjee, RAD Magazine, April, 2016)

“This is designed as a review of infectious disease with an emphasis on the imaging features of a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. … It appears to be targeted at practicing physicians, both clinicians and imaging specialists. … a reference for quickly looking up features and imaging characteristics of bacterial and parasitic disease.” (John Paul Haas, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
