Designed as a practical guide to clinical radiology of the small intestine, the book addresses the pertinent aspects of gastrointestinal radiology, specifically the problems of technique and interpretation that confront the radiologist with interestin the small intestine. With increased coverage on CT, Ultrasound, the application of Doppler, and MRI a second edition would do full justice to the new trends in gastrointestinal radiology.
