Radiology in Global Health: Strategies, Implementation, and Applications, 3rd Edition (EPUB)

By Daniel J. Mollura, Anne-Marie Lugossy, Lauren Fuller Kulinski

This third edition provides a definitive, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary reference for a diverse healthcare audience to navigate the complexities of radiology service planning, implementation, and diagnostics in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and resource-limited medically underserved regions. This book integrates clinical approaches with concepts of project planning to assist radiology professionals, public health specialists, and students to implement medical imaging in under-served and resource-constrained contexts to improve global health outcomes and optimize the use of radiologic technologies.

The first section of the book introduces the general role of radiology in international public health, to help readers (i) understand the impact of medical imaging on health disparity (ii) learn how to assess radiologic service infrastructure in low-resource environments, and (iii) learn how to plan projects aiming to address health care shortages. The second section of the book presents clinical contexts for deploying radiology such as pediatrics, trauma, infectious disease, and cancer control. Themes from the two sections are interwoven so that the learner can integrate concepts of project development with clinical objectives. For example, the chapter on information technology (IT) reinforces the chapter on cancer control by addressing IT solutions applicable to cancer management in medically underserved areas. All chapters have been fully updated and this edition adds chapters on artificial intelligence, COVID, and breast imaging, as well as others.

This is an ideal guide for radiologists and medical professionals working in LMICs and resource-limited medically underserved regions.
