Urology. An Atlas of Investigation and Diagnosis

This atlas presents a comprehensively illustrated overview of the techniques now routinely employed in the investigation and diagnosis of disorders of the male urogenital system. It is organised by disease rather than procedure, so enabling the reader to review the techniques available and make an informed choice of the tests to be carried out in each case. Topics covered include renal function, UTIs, BP and LUTS, Stone Disease, Erectile Dysfunction and cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney and testis. For each, the authors comment on the utility and correct use of appropriate investigations, including laboratory analyses, blood tests, histopathology, urodynamics and flowmetry, and diagnostic imaging.
