Foreword

Organ transplantation is considered one of the major advances in modern medicine

and surgery of recent decades.

Thousands of patients all over the world owe their lives to the revolutionary surgical

techniques and new methods in immunosuppression applied in human transplanta-

tion, which is also a supreme example of human interindividual solidarity.

As in most other domains of modern medicine, radiological imaging plays a major

role in the correct selection of donors and donor organs, as well as in the optimal thera-

peutic management and care of the transplanted patients.

I am very much indebted to A. Bankier for accepting the challenging task of editing

a much needed volume dedicated to all radiological aspects of organ transplantation in

humans. This book is the result of a very successful collaboration between a group of

international experts in the ﬁ eld and offers a comprehensive overview of all radiologi-

cal issues relevant to all those involved in the care of transplanted patients.

I congratulate the editor and contributing authors for this outstanding, well

researched, and superbly illustrated book.

I am convinced that this volume on a hot clinical topic will be of great interest to both

radiologists in training and certiﬁ ed radiologists, as well as to transplant surgeons and

medical specialists with an interest in transplantation.

I sincerely hope that it will meet with the same success as the many other volumes

previously published in the series, Medical Radiology – Diagnostic Imaging.
