Colorectal Imaging: From Basic to Advanced Concepts provides an exhaustive overview of today’s basic and advanced principles of colorectal imaging, focusing not only on oncologic but also inflammatory, infective, and ischemic pathologies and complications. The book reviews basic colorectal cancer information, examines imaging techniques and analysis, and concludes with a review of non-neoplastic pathologies. It is a useful resource for scientists, physicians, and medical students in the discipline of radiology, highlighting the critical role of contemporary imaging in guiding clinical and surgical approaches and providing the knowledge needed to confidently choose the most appropriate imaging examination.
