The latest technologies on imaging are included to better identify carcinomatous lesions and lymph node metastases. Each chapter ends with a section entitled Considerations , reflecting on the optimal imaging approach, providing an algorithm for imaging per disease entity, and according to the evidence-based chronological and diagnostic follow-up. This is a state-of-the-art reference work on imaging in oncological urology for the urologist, radiologist and medical oncologist.
