Among the most important developments in clinical medicine in recent years has been the rapid advancement in imaging technologies. These technologies allow clinicians to gain better insight into the pathophysiological processes underlying their patients’ illnesses. The practice of gastroenterology, perhaps more than any other in medicine, is a visual one and has been enriched by such advances. Modalities such as endoscopy, double-contrast radiography, computed tomography, isotopic scintigraphy, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography have facilitated greatly the approach to diagnosing gastrointestinal disorders. The imaging of tissues using standard microscopy has been augmented with newer methodologies such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and confocal microscopy, not to mention even more experimental techniques. While we have included descriptions of these advances in the Textbook of Gastroenterology, the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words” could not be more applicable to anything other than to the teaching of gastroenterology. With this in mind, we have endeavored to provide the fourth edition of the Atlas of Gastroenterology with additional graphic material that enhances the reader’s understanding of the written material in the Textbook.
The fourth edition of the Atlas expands on the material presented in the third edition by the addition of figures to existing chapters and by the addition of chapters covering new subject matter. The written text in the Atlas provides only an abbreviated introduction to the graphic material, and the reader is referred to the Textbook for more detailed information. Although the Atlas is meant to be especially useful to the reader of the Textbook, the quality of many of the figures is unique and not to be found readily in existing publications. Thus, we hope that the Atlas will serve as a valuable educational resource for all readers, independent of their familiarity with the Textbook.
We are delighted to welcome Tony Kalloo to the editorial team for the fourth edition of the Atlas of Gastroenterology. His hands-on experience in the most modern procedural techniques of gastroenterology, in addition to his broad understanding of the discipline, have added immensely to this edition.
We are most pleased as well to have a new publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, for this edition. Their keen insight into the publishing industry and the way in which textbooks are utilized today has been the basis for some of the changes made to the Atlas. In addition, their knowledge of the international world of medicine will help us to distribute the contents of the Atlas to a global audience. The editors would like especially to thank Elisabeth Dodds at Wiley-Blackwell, whose commitment to excellence has contributed materially to the quality of the book, and Alison Brown and Oliver Walter, without whose assistance this fourth edition of the Atlas would not have been published.
Our efforts were especially facilitated by the expert assistance of Lori Ennis and Barbara Boughen, who collaborated as a team, complementing editorial talents with interpersonal skills to maintain the high quality of the text and deliver the manuscripts in a timely fashion. The editors are indebted to their administrative and secretarial assistants, Patricia Lai, Terri Astin, Jennifer Mayes, Sue Sparrow, Patty Pool, Gracie Bernal-Muñoz, and Maria L. Vidrio. In addition, the faculty and fellows of the Gastroenterology Divisions at the University of Michigan, Washington University in St. Louis, and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston provided valuable assistance in reviewing the chapters in the third edition of the Atlas in preparation for this, the fourth edition.
