• Sommario/riassunto: Jean-Pierre Vigier continually labeled one of les heretiques de la science, l’eternel resistant et le patriarche is yet a pillar of modern physics and mathematics, with one leg firmly planted in theory and the other in empiricism spanning a career of nearly 60 years with a publication vitae quickly approaching 400! He wrote of his mentor Louis de Broglie “Great physicists fight great battles”, which perhaps applies even more so to 1 Jean-Pierre Vigier himself . If fortune allows a visit to Paris, reported to be the city of love, and certainly one of the most beautiful and interesting cities in the world; one has been treated to a visual and cultural feast. For example a leisurely stroll from the Musee du Louvre along the Champs-Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe would instill even the least creative soul with the entelechies of a poets muse. It is perhaps open to theoretical interpretation, but if causal conditions have allowed one to be a physicist, visiting Paris, one may ; have taken opportunity to visit the portion of the old Latin quarter in place Jussieu where Pierre et Marie Curie Universite, reported to be ‘the best university in France’, is stationed.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers a practical, evidence-based casebook on abdominal imaging. As imaging is increasingly being used for most clinical scenarios, referring physicians rely on radiologists to provide evidence-based interpretation for the incidental and indication related findings seen on the imaging studies. While imagers are trained in identifying the findings, what makes a report more clinically relevant is the accurate assessment and a more focused differential based on knowing the pertinent evidence-based data that supports one diagnosis over the other or favors benign over malignant etiology. Imagers typically don’t have this information readily available to them to provide and make a more informed impression of the findings seen. For example, if a hyperdense renal lesion with attenuation of 80 HU is seen on the noncontrast stone protocol CT, it is important to know what is the likelihood this lesion is worrisome and if any further investigation is needed. While this information is available, it is scattered and one needs to acquire, synthesize, and collate this from the web. This casebook overcomes this void by providing this information in a simplified, case-based template that any reader can then quickly reference and use in their day-to-day work. In addition, template language for dictation where relevant will be provided. Cases are organized around major abdominal areas, including bowel, genitourinary tract, and pancreas. Each case also includes a table of pearls and pitfalls to be learned and applied to everyday practice. This is an ideal guide for residents, fellows, and staff from radiology, as a day to day resource or board review book. Given the lack of a comprehensive text, this will be useful to all cadres of radiologists.
