Atlas of Clinical Hepatology by Norman Gitlin, Robert M. Strauss

Daniel R. Ganger

This is an atlas of liver diseases edited by two experts, with contributions from multiple physicians, the majority of whom practice in the U.S. The illustrations cover clinical, radiologic, and pathology findings. It is intended to provide an illustrated spectrum of clinical hepatology, something that is needed to complement textbooks of liver diseases. The book meets the authors' objectives. Targeted especially for students and residents in training, it is also useful for the library of a practitioner that is interested in patients with liver diseases. The book includes an adequate amount of photographs, tables, illustrations, radiographs, and sophisticated imaging techniques. The emphasis is on the common diseases of the liver, but the book does include diseases not seen in the U.S. as well. This is a useful atlas for students of hepatology that complements the available textbooks. It does not attempt to replace the more comprehensive books dealing with the radiology or pathology of the liver.
