Description

Diagnostic imaging of the gastrointestinal tract is used for research and clinical studies of patients with symptoms arising from the gastrointestinal tract and in visualizing anatomy and pathology. Upper gastrointestinal tests use X-rays to examine the esophagus, stomach, and the upper part of the small intestine while lower GI tests are used to examine the large intestine and the rectum. Some of the imaging techniques which are used in diagnostic imaging of the gastrointestinal tract are ultrasound, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of gastrointestinal imaging in recent times. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
