Elsevier Health Sciences Spine Imaging Case Review Series
Book SynopsisHelps you prepare for certification, recertification, and practice in spine imaging with case studies that test your knowledge of all essential topics. This book shows you how to make confident, final diagnoses through accurate pattern recognition, clinical correlation, and differential diagnosis.Trade Review"This book is likely to be most useful for (radiology) trainees in a neuroradiology department. Unfortunately, at the time of the review this book was not yet available electronically via the ExpertConsult website (access is included with book purchase) but if the electronic image quality is sufficient this is likely to be a useful resource to readers and may widen its appeal."

Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Cardiac CT and MR for Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Book Synopsis??This is the first major textbook to address both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) cardiac imaging of adults forthe diagnosis and treatment ofcongenital heart disease (CHD). Since the introduction of faster CT scanners, there has been tremendous advancement in the diagnosis of CHD in adults. This is mostly due to the higher spatial resolution of CT compared to MR, which enables radiologists to create moredetailed visualizations of cardiac anatomic structures, leading to the discovery of anomalous pathologies often missed by conventional MR imaging. This bookis unique in highlighting the advantages of both CT and MR for the diagnosis of CHD in adults, focusing on the complementary collaboration between the two modalities that is possible. Chapters include discussions of case examples, clinical data, MR and CT image findings, and correlative cadaveric pictures. The chaptersfocus not only on the diagnosis of the primary problem, but also give readers information on viTrade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book illustrates the evolving use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in congenital heart disease.

Taylor & Francis Inc Imaging of the Cardiovascular System Thorax and
Book SynopsisMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in biomedical imaging and radiology to visualize internal structures of the body. Because MRI provides excellent contrast between different soft tissues, the technique is especially useful for diagnostic imaging of the brain, muscles, and heart.In the past 20 years, MRI technology has improved significantly with the introduction of systems up to 7 Tesla (7 T) and with the development of numerous post-processing algorithms such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), and spectroscopic imaging. From these developments, the diagnostic potentialities of MRI have improved impressively with an exceptional spatial resolution and the possibility of analyzing the morphology and function of several kinds of pathology.Given these exciting developments, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Handbook: Imaging of the Cardiovascular System, Thorax, and Abdomen is a timely addition to the growing bTable of ContentsCoronary and Perfusion Imaging with Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance: Current State of the Art.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Fluorine Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Book SynopsisOver the past decade, fluorine (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has garnered significant scientific interest in the biomedical research community owing to the unique properties of fluorinated materials and the 19F nucleus. Fluorine has an intrinsically sensitive nucleus for MRI. There is negligible endogenous 19F in the body and thus there is no background signal. Fluorine-containing compounds are ideal tracer labels for a wide variety of MRI applications. Moreover, the chemical shift and nuclear relaxation rate can be made responsive to physiology via creative molecular design. This book is an interdisciplinary compendium that details cutting-edge science and medical research in the emerging field of 19F MRI. Edited by Ulrich Flögel and Eric Ahrens, two prominent MRI researchers, this book will appeal to investigators involved in MRI, biomedicine, immunology, pharmacology, probe chemistry, and imaging physics. Trade Review"Since the first published images in the mid 1970s, 19F MRI has made a significant comeback in molecular and cellular imaging during the last 10 years. This book is written by an international gathering of scientists who have been expert witnesses to this renaissance, covering every aspect from physical, chemical, and biological perspectives."—Dr. Jeff W. M. Bulte, Johns Hopkins University, USA"Fluorine Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides a splendid overview of how the 19F nucleus can be exploited to interrogate healthy and diseased tissues. Written by recognized experts in MRI pulse sequences, imaging hardware, contrast agent chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine, it covers the whole field from the technique to clinical application. An important and highly recommended book."—Prof. Gustav J. Strijkers, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, the Netherlands"This is an authoritative and comprehensive book on a very important and emerging topic in the field of MRI and biomedical imaging. The editors have engaged the leaders in 19F MRI and cover all basic and advanced concepts in this field. The book is rich in illustrations and examples, which facilitate comprehension. I have no doubt that it is going to be a valuable resource in helping the next generation of scientists and clinicians to continue the process of advancing 19F MRI and its application in biology and medicine."—Dr. Zahi A.
