Sommario/riassunto

Der Konsumismus ist das Immunsystem der Weltgesellschaft gegen den Virus der fanatischen Religionen. Die Apologie dieses Lebensstils, bis hinein in die Sphäre der Liebe, muß nicht die Augen verschließen vor den Folgelasten der Modernisierung, den Ausschlußmechanismen unserer westlichen Rationalität und den Schicksalen der Globalisierungsopfer. Auch die immanenten Schwächen des konsumistischen Lebensstils, der vom pursuit of happiness nur den "happiness of pursuit" übrig läßt, liegen seit langem offen zutage. Heute wäre es aber an der Zeit, die Stärke in diesen Schwächen zu erkennen. Der Konsumismus verspricht weder das Ziel noch das Ende der Geschichte, sondern nur das immer wieder Neue. Und wo anders wäre, nachdem die Moderne den Himmel ausgeräumt hat, die Wendung von der Transzendenz zur Introszendenz möglich: die Eroberung der "diesseitigen Tiefe"?

Sommario/riassunto

Imaging for Otolaryngologists distils the essentials of otolaryngologic imaging into a concise reference that concentrates on key topics that are of immediate interest to otolaryngologists practicing in a modern clinical environment. Prepared by a renowned otolaryngologist, and reviewed and supplemented by expert radiologists, the book provides a well-rounded perspective. The central focus is on image interpretation, including the disease-specific characteristics, the features necessary for successful diagnosis, and the implications for surgery. Each of the 465 high-quality images is clearly labeled, and where appropriate comparisons are made between CT scans and MR images to show complementary functions and limitations. All aspects of otolaryngologic imaging are covered, with a particular emphasis on anatomy, common



diagnoses, and the choice of imaging modalities. The text is divided into four sections that guide the reader through the petrosal bone, skull base, sinonasal complex, and neck structures. Each section is consistently structured for easy reading: normal anatomy is followed by frequent/common diseases and then less frequent yet still instructive diseases. The presentation of each disease follows a standardized layout with concise explanatory text on how to choose the most appropriate imaging modality, potential differential diagnoses, and points of evaluation.
