This comprehensive teaching atlas covers virtually all pancreatic anatomy (including variants) and diseases in a pattern-based radiologic approach. Cases are presented as "unknowns", allowing the reader to analyze the findings and learn key points. Each teaching case includes a brief clinical history, images, a description of imaging findings, differential diagnoses, final diagnosis with images of gross pathology, and a discussion of key teaching points. The presented images have been acquired with the full range of relevant modalities, including state of the art technologies such as multidetector row dual-phase CT, 3D reformatting, and multiple MRI sequences. The book will help radiologists, radiology residents and fellows to sharpen their diagnostic skills by looking at a vast array of pathology from a major tertiary hospital (Johns Hopkins) and will also assist in preparation for radiology board examinations.

“I really enjoyed reading through this book, with its numerous cases succinctly highlighting the essential imaging findings … . This would be a very useful text for the trainee and practising radiologist, and there are lots of interesting cases for the specialist. ... The case-based format with very good images, pathological correlation and excellent but concise discussion makes this a highly recommended book on pancreatic imaging.” (Dr Zahir Amin, RAD Magazine, April 2018)
