Morphodynamic Imaging in Achalasia

<p>This book embarks on a journey never taken before approaching the imaging of the disease of achalasia with new pathophysiological assumptions in mind coming from the Chicago Classification of Manometric diagnosis. Using state-of-the-art modern x-ray technology the authors have developed a schematic and simple approach to detection diagnosis and patient stadiation and prognostic stratification for radiologists clinicians and students. </p><p>Key Features: </p><p>1. Serves as a useful guide to structured and comprehensive reporting of barium swallows both in achalasia and other oesophageal motility disorders. </p><p>2. Allows radiologists both specialists and trainees to comprehensively understand achalasia from anatomic pathophysiologic therapeutic points of view allowing for exact comprehension detection and reporting of the radiologic hallmarks of the disease. </p><p>3. Empowers readers to diagnose and define the exact achalasia subtype in each patient due to the specifically developed FBF score.</p>
