Review
"Over the last two decades, the number of routine upper and lower GI examinations has markedly decreased. More and more, the focus of conventional barium studies has shifted to the examination of the postoperative patient. The last text dedicated to the postoperative appearance of the GI tract was published more than 30 years ago, prior to the advent of CT and MR. Although a few review articles and several chapters in major radiologic textbooks have dealt with this subject, we felt there was a need for a more comprehensive approach." - From the Preface
