Part I: Basic Characteristics of Imaging Methods and Other Techniques for Evaluation of Neck Endocrine Diseases -- Ultrasonography -- Nuclear Medicine Techniques -- Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging -- Interventional Techniques -- Pathology -- Part II: Thyroid Diseases -- Graves’ Disease -- Thyroid Autonomy -- Thyroiditis -- Non-Toxic Uninodular Goiter -- Non-Toxic Multinodular Goiter -- Well-Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma -- Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma -- Anaplastic Carcinoma and Other Tumors -- Part III: Parathyroid Diseases -- Primary Hyperparathyroidism -- Part IV: Other Endocrine Diseases of the Neck -- Head and Neck Paragangliomas -- Other Neuroendocrine Tumors of Head and Neck Region.

This atlas draws on a multidisciplinary approach to provide a comprehensive overview on endocrine disorders of the head and neck, with particular emphasis on the role of imaging and image-guided procedures. The first section discusses the basic characteristics of the imaging methods and other techniques used for evaluation and diagnosis. The remainder of the book focuses on application of these methods in thyroid, parathyroid, and other endocrine disorders of the head and neck. The coverage is wide ranging, encompassing Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, toxic adenoma, thyroiditis, non-toxic goiter, benign nodules, and the different forms of thyroid carcinoma, as well as parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia, and carcinoma and paragangliomas. Informative, high-quality images are provided by international experts in endocrine disorders, including endocrinologists, pathologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and surgeons, who also discuss sample cases and provide syntheses of the relevant scientific literature.
