Practical Hepatic Pathology A Diagnostic Approach 2nd Edition (A Volume in the Pattern Recognition Series) PDF<\/p>\n
It is often stated that anatomic pathologists
\ncome in two forms: \u201cGestalt\u201d-based individu-
\nals, who recognize visual scenes as a whole,
\nmatching them unconsciously with memorial-
\nized archives, and criterion-oriented people,
\nwho work through images systematically in
\nsegments, tabulating the results\u2014internally,
\nmentally, and quickly\u2014as they go along in
\nexamining a visual target. These approaches
\ncan be equally effective, and they are probably
\nnot as dissimilar as their descriptions would suggest. In reality, even
\n\u201cGestaltists\u201d subliminally examine details of an image, and if asked spe-
\ncifically about particular features of it, they are able to say whether one
\ncharacteristic or another is important diagnostically.
\nIn accordance with these concepts, in 2004 we published a text-
\nbook entitled Practical Pulmonary Pathology: A Diagnostic Approach
\n(PPPDA). That monograph was designed around a pattern-based
\nmethod, wherein diseases of the lung were divided into six categories
\non the basis of their general image profiles. Using that technique, one
\ncan successfully segregate pathologic conditions into diagnostically
\nand clinically useful groupings.
\nThe merits of such a procedure have been validated empirically by
\nthe enthusiastic feedback we have received from users of our book. In
\naddition, following the old adage that \u201cimitation is the sincerest form
\nof flattery,\u201d since our book came out other publications and presenta-
\ntions have appeared in our specialty with the same approach.
\nAfter publication of the PPPDA text, representatives at Elsevier, most
\nnotably William Schmitt, were enthusiastic about building a series of
\ntexts around pattern-based diagnosis in pathology. To this end, we have
\nrecruited a distinguished group of authors and editors to accomplish
\nthat task. Because a panoply of patterns is dif-
\nficult to approach mentally from a practical
\nperspective, we have asked our contributors to
\nbe complete and yet to discuss only principal
\ninterpretative images. Our goal is eventually to
\nprovide a series of monographs that, in combi-
\nnation with one another, will allow trainees and
\npractitioners in pathology to use salient mor-
\nphologic patterns to reach with confidence final
\ndiagnoses in all organ systems.
\nAs stated in the introduction to the PPPDA text, the evaluation of
\ndominant patterns is aided secondarily by the analysis of cellular com-
\nposition and other distinctive findings. Therefore, within the context
\nof each pattern, editors have been asked to use such data to refer the
\nreader to appropriate specific chapters in their respective texts.
\nWe have also stated previously that some overlap is expected
\nbetween pathologic patterns in any given anatomic site; in addition,
\nspecific disease states may potentially manifest themselves with more
\nthan one pattern. At first, those facts may seem to militate against the
\nvalue of pattern-based interpretation; however, pragmatically they do
\nnot. One often can narrow diagnostic possibilities to a few entities
\nusing the pattern method, and sometimes a single interpretation will
\nbe obvious. Both outcomes are useful to clinical physicians caring for
\na given patient.
\nIt is hoped that the expertise of our authors and editors, together
\nwith the high quality of morphologic images they present in this Else-
\nvier series, will be beneficial to our reader-colleagues.
