Pref ace
In imaging diagnosis, each case is usually made based on an individual radiologist’s memories
of past cases with similar imaging features. Sometimes, one may fi nd a variety of imaging
fi ndings for a single disease, while, in other cases, different disease entities have similar
i maging features. As I had once been a trainee in radiology myself, I am fully aware of their
diffi culties in dealing with the traditional multi-author textbooks with drawn-out texts and
numerous references. This issue came up during a brief conversation with Dr. Seung Hyup
Kim—a uroradiology expert and my intimate colleague at Seoul National University—several
years ago, and Dr. Kim’s sharing of his own experience of writing a new type of textbook
provoked me to write this book.
H ere, I aim to present a comprehensive textbook of abdominal radiology that would serve
as a “visible reference” rather than reading reference for radiology trainees and practicing
physicians. The book is designed as a clear, practical, visible guide to the imaging-based
diagnosis of abdominal diseases. This volume, the fi rst of two, is devoted to diseases of the
liver, biliary tree, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen and covers congenital disorders, vascular
diseases, benign and malignant tumors, and infl ammatory conditions. Cases of liver transplan-
tation and evaluation of the therapeutic response of hepatocellular carcinoma, trauma, and
posttreatment complications are also addressed in the volume.
T he book presents approximately 563 cases with 2,122 carefully selected and categorized
illustrations along with key text messages and tables that will help the reader to easily recall
the relevant images as an aid to differential diagnosis. At the end of each text message, key
points are summarized to facilitate rapid review and learning. Additionally, brief descriptions
of each clinical problem are provided, followed by both common and uncommon case studies
that illustrate the role of different imaging modalities—such as ultrasound, radiography, CT,
and MRI.
I believe that this well-illustrated text will provide useful and handy visual guides for
radiologists and physicians who interpret diagnostic images of the abdomen in their busy
everyday practice.

Producing a text such as this always calls for a collective work of many people—including
radiologists, gastroenterologists, hepatologists, pathologists, and surgeons in their collection
of data and illustrations. It would have been impossible for me to fi nish this book without the
dedication and efforts of radiology colleagues at my university hospital. Dr. Jung Hoon Kim’s
coordinating contribution for perplexing constellation of abdominal cases with diverse imag-
ing fi ndings was outstanding. Dr. Jeong Min Lee, my abdominal section chief and one of the
top academic radiologists in the world, and Dr. Joon Koo Han, my career-long colleague and
renowned educator, contributed dozens of cases that are all beautifully searched, written, and
illustrated. I am proud to have them as coeditors of this book. Without their time, effort, coop-
eration, and expertise, I could not have been able to assemble these numerous interesting and
beautiful cases of abdominal diseases.
Working on this book also reminded me of my two mentors. Dr. Man Chung Han, professor
Emeritus of Radiology at my university, guided me through the entire track of professional and
academic radiology with an enthusiastic encouragement, wisdom, and foresight for the future.
The year I spent in San Francisco with Dr. Alexander Margulis in the mid-1980s was a turning
point in my career as a gastrointestinal radiologist. In those years, Dr. Margulis’s Textbook of
Gastrointestinal Radiology was a bible in the fi eld of gastrointestinal radiology. His collabora-
tive style in working with his clinical counterparts strongly infl uenced my career path and
work ethics.
In addition, I wish to thank to the great team at S pringer for their knowledge of the interna-
tional world of medicine and their keen insight into the publishing industry which facilitate to
distribute the contents of the book to global readers.
L astly, this book would not have been possible without the understanding, strong support,
and love of my family including my dearest parents, wife, daughter, and son.
