Yamada`s Atlas of Gastroenterology, 6th Edition

Gastroenterology and Hepatology remain highly visual specialties, in

part because of the tremendous accessibility of the luminal

gastrointestinal tract to endoscopic examination and biopsy, and other

internal digestive organs to advanced imaging modalities and sampling.

Thus, in addition to standard views of cross-sectional imaging and

histopathologic analysis used in many disorders, the field encompasses

multimodal endoscopic imaging, which has continued to advance over the

last decade. This sixth edition of Yamada's Atlas of Gastroenterology

continues to offer diverse images that provide an overview of the field

of digestive diseases, and aims to provide a synopsis through pictures

and illustrations rather than through text. Consequently, this Atlas is

designed to complement and accompany the primary textbook in the field,

the seventh edition of Yamada’s Textbook of Gastroenterology.

This

newest edition of the Atlas presents a wealth of pictorial material

designed to provide a highly informative snapshot of major

gastrointestinal, pancreatic and hepatobiliary diseases. Every GI

disorder from liver abscesses, endocrine neoplasms of the pancreas, to

motility disorders of the esophagus are fully illustrated through the

use of endoscopic and transabdominal ultrasonographs, computed

tomography scans, magnetic resonance images, radionuclide images,

angiograms, and high resolution manometry, in addition to histopathology

and cytology. The Atlas includes over 2000 exceptional images,

organized by disease entity and therapeutic modality, including

histopathology slides, MRI and CT scans, endoscopy, EUS, and open

surgery images.

Boasting an outstanding editorial team and 200

chapter authors, who are internationally renowned experts in their

fields of expertise, Yamada’s Atlas of Gastroenterology is

designed for a wide spectrum of readers, including students, residents,

fellows and other trainees, practicing clinicians, professors and

related specialists. For a busy trainee or clinician seeking a quick

introduction to the spectrum of GI diseases, Yamada's Atlas of Gastroenterology

represents a practical and useful introduction to important disorders,

and brings to life the salient points of the topic accurately and

comprehensively.
