Surgeons around the world need a basic knowledge of English to keep up to date with advances in their field. Fluency in surgical English is important for your professional development, enabling you to attend English-speaking patients with confidence, to study (or work) in other hospitals, speak confidently at international meetings, and to write articles for international journals. This book will provide you with the basic tools to handle day-to-day situations without stress and will help you to improve your English, no matter what your level. To our knowledge, this is the first English book written specifically by surgeons for surgeons. We are sure that surgical specialists from all over the "non-English-speaking world" (general surgeons, thoracic surgeons, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, gynecologists, plastic surgeons) will enjoy reading it.

After the publication of Learning Diagnostic Imaging, which was an introductory teaching ? le to the ten radiological subspecialties included in the American Boards of Radiology, we began to write a series of teaching ? les on each radiological subspecialty. If the ? rst book of the series was mainly aimed at residents and provided them with an introductory tool to the study of radiology, the subsequent volumes of the series try to provide the reader with an introduction to the study of each radiological subspecialty. In Learning Cardiac Imaging, we intend to review cardiac imaging from the p- spective of the six imaging modalities usually performed to obtain anatomic and functional information of the heart. In old days, conventional radiographs gave us some information about the an- omy and, only secondarily, the pathophysiology of the heart. With the advent of echocardiography, the heart could be studied dynamically. Nuclear Medicine and Cardiac MR allowed the study of cardiac function. 32- and 64-detector multislice CT let us obtain images of the coronary tree in a noninvasive approach. Cardiac imaging is complex and many health care professionals are needed, ? rstly, in the obtention and, secondly, in the interpretation of the images. Not only rad- lologists, cardiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians are needed, specialized nurses and technicians are indispensable to obtain diagnostic images of such a dynamic anatomic structure as the heart. The authorship of the book re? ects its multidisciplinary approach of the book.

Hace ya mucho tiempo que el inglés se ha convertido en el idioma de la medicina. En su práctica actual, los profesionales de la salud se encuentran en permanente contacto con él, ya sea para búsqueda y lectura de bibliografía o durante su asistencia a congresos internacionales. Por otro lado, la necesidad de utilizarlo como una herramienta de comunicación universal en el ámbito de la medicina es hoy incuestionable. Se trata de hacer una introducción al amplio tema del inglés médico y su objetivo es ayudar a quienes lo necesitan para su trabajo, pero que lo hablan diariamente. No sólo los ayudará a mejorar su vocabulario, su conocimiento de gramática y su pronunciación, sino que también los iniciará en el mundo de la jerga médica. Contiene indicaciones para la comprensión lectora, la comprensión auditiva, la expresión oral y la expresión escrita; autoevaluación; indicaciones para dictar conferencias y cursos para redactar para redactar artículos; listados de acrónimos y abreviaturas; los errores más frecuentes cometidos por los médicos al hablar en inglés; y una "guía de supervivencia" para la conversación.

This is an introductory book to radiological English on the basis that there are a lot of radiologists, radiology residents, radiology nurses, radiology students, and radiographers worldwide whose English level is indeterminate because their reading skills are much higher than their fluency. It is intended to help those health care professionals who need English for their work but do not speak English on a day-to-day basis.

Una solida conoscenza di base dell’inglese è necessaria per qualsiasi chirurgo che voglia tenersi al passo con gli aggiornamenti nel proprio campo. Parlare con sicurezza un buon inglese di ambito chirurgico è essenziale per lo sviluppo professionale: permette di trattare senza difficoltà pazienti anglofoni, studiare e lavorare all’interno di ospedali stranieri, parlare a meeting plurilingui e scrivere articoli su riviste internazionali. Questo volume fornisce gli strumenti base per affrontare senza stress le situazioni più comuni e aiuta a migliorare l’inglese a qualsiasi livello. Uno dei pochi manuali d’inglese, se non l’unico, scritto da chirurghi e rivolto specificamente ai colleghi della medesima disciplina: tutti gli specialisti che affrontano l’inglese come seconda lingua – chirurghi generali, toracici, vascolari, neurochirurghi, ginecologi e chirurghi plastici – vi troveranno spunti e soluzioni utili alla loro professione.

Inglese per chirurghi

In una statistica comparsa qualche anno fa su un autorevole giornale di cardiologia sperimentale, il numero di errori di ortografia e sintassi nei manoscritti sottomessi per pubblicazione veniva messo a confronto per i vari paesi. Chi c’era in testa alla classifica per frequenza di errori (e in coda alla classifica della frequenza di accettazione)? C’eravamo noi, i cardiologi italiani. Modestia a parte, ci riconoscono ovunque per il nostro marchio di fabbrica lessicale, lo “spaghetti-English”. Un buon inglese non aiuta forse a farsi accettare il lavoro, ma un cattivo inglese di certo aiuta a farselo rifiutare. Il libro ci aiuta a cancellare qualche macchia di pomodoro nel nostro spaghetti-Cardio-English, e già questo sarà un ottimo risultato per il lettore." (dalla presentazione di Eugenio Picano)
