Dr Massimo Tonolini is a radiologist at the “Luigi Sacco” University Hospital in Milan, and mainly specializes in gastrointestinal and urogenital imaging. He received the “Cum Laude” Award at the RSNA Congress in 2002. He has published more than 70 articles in scientific journals, the vast majority of them in peer-reviewed international journals. In addition, he has edited the following books with Springer: “Imaging of perianal inflammatory diseases” (2013), “Imaging of ulcerative colitis” (2014) and “Imaging complications of gastrointestinal and biliopancreatic endoscopy procedures” (2016).

“The importance of radiology in understanding and recognising the acutely ill patient with urosepsis and the role of interventional radiologyin their management cannot be underestimated, and recognition of this will no doubt fuel interest in this comprehensive yet relatively concise book.” (Dr Steven Kennish, RAD Magazine, March, 2019)
