Preface
We are proud to offer this unique textbook, the first in
its class presenting state-of-the-art radiologic images of
the entire body correlated with underlying pathology.
This book is based on a categorical course presented for
3 years at recent European Congresses of Radiology and
covers from head to toe, key aspects of human disease
lending themselves well to the correlation of modern
imaging techniques with microscopic and gross pathol-
ogy. Obviously, the most suitable candidate for radio-
logic–pathologic correlation is the study of neoplasms,
since they are resected ideally in toto and therefore offer
excellent gross–imaging comparisons. Although there is
a wealth of educational material based on radiolog-
ic–pathologic correlation, not until now has there been
a comprehensive textbook that offers in a single source
a compendium of topics such as that between these
covers.
The concept of radiologic–pathologic correlation
was born in 1947 with the establishment of the Radio-
logic Pathology Department and Registry at the Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. This
method has become a key teaching tool to understand
the radiological manifestations of disease, initially on
plain films and later with cross-sectional techniques.
With the advent of computed tomography and magnet-
ic resonance imaging, precise correlation between im-
aging and the underlying pathology became possible
throughout the entire body. For decades now, genera-
tions of radiology residents from North America, and
more recently from many other regions of the world,
have enjoyed the quiet revolution in radiology teaching
offered by radiologic–pathologic correlation, since this
method demonstrates not only the “how” but also the
“why” of the radiologic findings.
The success of courses on radiologic–pathologic cor-
relations at venues such as the European Congress of
Radiology, The International Congress of Radiology,
The Radiological Society of North America Assembly,
among others made us believe that radiologists, as well
as pathologists and other specialists, would enjoy hav-
ing in a single source the best of class in this education-
al method. This book is indeed a global effort since it as-
sembles the leading authorities in all major organ
systems who use radiologic–pathologic correlation as a
research and teaching method. Many of the chapter au-
thors have dedicated the bulk of their professional life to
educating radiologists throughout the world using this
method. There are experts from 12 European countries
and the USA. All the United States authors and many of
the European ones have direct or indirect links with the
Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, having served
there as full-time faculty, distinguished lecturers or re-
searchers in radiologic–pathologic correlation.
This textbook is divided in the main organ systems
including neuroradiology, head and neck, chest, abdom-
inal–gastrointestinal, urogenital, musculoskeletal and
breast imaging. In each one of these organ systems the
topics most salient to radiologic–pathologic correlation
are discussed in a systematic fashion, in many cases em-
phasizing the study of benign and malignant neo-
plasms. This book is intended to be used as a working
guide to assist radiologists in their daily practice when
difficult cases are encountered. It should also help phy-
sicians in training to learn imaging findings not by
memory but through the knowledge of the pathologic
basis of disease. Finally, we hope that the readers will
enjoy the high-resolution images and the many color
prints of the specimens.
