This book is an ideal manual on the use of modern ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast pathology. It provides a comprehensive overview of current ultrasound techniques and explains the advantages and pitfalls of various ultrasound imaging modalities. Detailed attention is devoted to breast carcinoma, with guidance on differential diagnosis and presentation of pre- and postoperative ultrasound appearances. The most important benign breast diseases are also described and illustrated. Age-related features, including those seen in children and adolescents, are carefully analyzed, and an individual chapter is devoted to breast abnormalities in men. All aspects of lymph node appearances are reviewed in detail, with a special focus on the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of lymph node status. Ultrasound-guided breast interventions and imaging of breast implants are discussed in depth. This up-to-date and richly illustrated book will interest and assist specialists in ultrasound diagnostics, radiologists, oncologists, and surgeons.​

As the basis for this book, the authors have analyzed more than 100,000 ultrasound examinations performed between 1995 and 2008 in patients with thyroid and parathyroid disease, as well as many thousands of diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound-guided minimally invasive procedures. The opening chapters include discussion of current ultrasound techniques, pitfalls, and ultrasound examination of the thyroid in children. Detailed attention is then devoted to findings in the normal thyroid and in the presence of diffuse and focal changes. Further chapters focus on such topics as the role of ultrasound after thyroid surgery and ultrasound diagnosis of parathyroid disease, recurrent goiter, and neck masses. Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive techniques, such as fine-needle aspiration biopsy and percutaneous laser ablation, are considered in depth. This up-to-date and richly illustrated book will interest and assist specialists in ultrasound diagnostics, radiologists, endocrinologists, and neck surgeons.

Une épopée de science-fiction post-apocalyptique où l'humanité et les machines se croisent, s'affrontent et s'interrogent sur leur avenir... et leur passé. Dans un monde ravagé par une guerre nucléaire dévastatrice, le Japon émerge comme le dernier bastion de civilisation. Seul pays à avoir échappé au chaos total, il impose un Nouvel ordre mondial sous l’autorité d’un empereur quasi divin, mêlant traditions ancestrales et technologies avancées. Tandis que les survivants humains tentent de reconstruire un semblant de société sous l'autorité de ce gouvernement impitoyable, les androïdes, autrefois au service des hommes, s'interrogent sur leur propre existence et leurs droits. Au cœur de ce chaos, Nozomi, une androïde douce et altruiste, voit son quotidien bouleversé par la découverte de Nova, un être mécanique imparfait, étrangement similaire à l’homme, et amnésique. Ensemble, ils se lancent dans une quête périlleuse pour retrouver les fragments perdus du passé de Nova, à travers un monde en ruines où chaque rencontre pourrait bien redéfinir les frontières entre l'homme et la machine. Entre alliances improbables, révoltes, et vérités dérangeantes, une question demeure pour Nova : jusqu’où l’humanité peut-elle aller pour dominer... ou survivre ? Nozomi, les Tambours de la Raison vous entraîne dans une réflexion fascinante sur la mémoire, la nature du pouvoir, et l’essence même de ce qui nous rend vivants. Un voyage poignant au croisement de la science-fiction et de la culture japonaise.
