Wiley-Blackwell Standard Electroencephalography in Clinical Psychiatry A Practical Handbook
Book SynopsisThis book provides a concise overview of the possible clinical applications of standard EEG in clinical psychiatry. It starts with a short history then describes the physiologic basis of the EEG signal.Trade Review"This handbook, written and edited by experts in the field, is a welcome addition to the psychiatric literature. The only comparable book on this topic is EEG and Evoked Potentials in Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurology, Hughes and Wilson (Butterworth-Heinemann, 1983). This handbook is sort of an update of that classic." (Doody's, 7 October 2011) "Whether such a curriculum is defined in your country or not the book is recommended to all psychiatrists and clinical psychologists working with diagnosis of patients. For psychiatric residents it is an easily accessible, handy yet sufficiently exhaustive introduction to EEG." (Acta Neuropsychiatrica, 2011) "In summary, this book will most certainly be included in psychiatry curricula and will be a milestone of which Hans Berger will be proud." (Epilepsy & Behavior, 7 May 2011) "The guide is readable and is useful for medical students, psychiatric residents and clinicians seeking to augment their clinical skills in managing complex psychiatric treatments. The book fills a need and is a reminder that brain physiology is the core component in understanding and treating the aberrant behaviors that fill psychiatric clinics."

Springer London Ltd Cardiovascular MRI in Practice: A Teaching File Approach
Book SynopsisCardiovascular MR imaging has become a robust, clinically useful mod- ity, and the rapid pace of innovation and important information it conveys have attracted many students whose goal is to become adept practitioners. In turn, many excellent textbooks have been written to aid this process. These books are necessary and useful in helping the student learn the underlying pulse sequences used in CMR, as well as the imaging findings in a variety of disorders. However, one of the difficulties inherent in learning CMR from a book is that the printed format is not the ideal medium to d- play the dynamic imaging that comprises a typical CMR case. For instance, it may be difficult to perceive focal areas of wall motion abnormality on serial static pictures, but these abnormalities are often easily seen on cine loops. One might say that trying to learn CMR solely from a standard textbook with illustrations is like trying to learn to drive by looking at snapshots obtained through the windshield of a moving car. The learner needs to see the cardiac motion and decide if it is normal or abnormal; he or she needs to be in the driver’s seat. An additional limitation of the ava- able textbooks on CMR is that while they often have superb illustrations of abnormal findings, these images have been preselected.Table of ContentsTechniques and Applications.- Overview.- The Standard Cardiac Exam.- Ischemic Heart Disease and Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathies.- Hemodynamic Assessment and Congenital Heart Disease.- Pericardial Disease and Cardiac Masses.- MR Angiography: General Principles.- Body MRA.- Peripheral MRA.- Cases.- Teaching File Case 1.- Teaching File Case 2.- Teaching File Case 3.- Teaching File Case 4.- Teaching File Case 5.- Teaching File Case 6.- Teaching File Case 7.- Teaching File Case 8.- Teaching File Case 9.- Teaching File Case 10.- Teaching File Case 11.- Teaching File Case 12.- Teaching File Case 13.- Teaching File Case 14.- Teaching File Case 15.- Teaching File Case 16.- Teaching File Case 17.- Teaching File Case 18.- Teaching File Case 19.- Teaching File Case 20.- Teaching File Case 21.- Teaching File Case 22.- Teaching File Case 23.- Teaching File Case 24.- Teaching File Case 25.- Teaching File Case 26.- Teaching File Case 27.- Teaching File Case 28.- Teaching File Case 29.- Teaching File Case 30.- Teaching File Case 31.- Teaching File Case 32.- Teaching File Case 33.- Teaching File Case 34.- Teaching File Case 35.- Teaching File Case 36.- Teaching File Case 37.- Teaching File Case 38.- Teaching File Case 39.- Teaching File Case 40.- Teaching File Case 41.- Teaching File Case 42.- Teaching File Case 43.- Teaching File Case 44.- Teaching File Case 45.- Teaching File Case 46.- Teaching File Case 47.- Teaching File Case 48.- Teaching File Case 49.- Teaching File Case 50.- Teaching File Case 51.- Teaching File Case 52.- Teaching File Case 53.- Teaching File Case 54.- Teaching File Case 55.- Teaching File Case 56.- Teaching File Case 57.- Teaching File Case 58.- Teaching File Case 59.- Teaching File Case 60.- Teaching File Case 61.- Teaching File Case 62.- Teaching File Case 63.- Teaching File Case 64.- Teaching File Case 65.- Teaching File Case 66.- Teaching File Case 67.- Teaching File Case 68.- Teaching File Case 69.- Teaching File Case 70.- Teaching File Case 71.- Teaching File Case 72.- Teaching File Case 73.- Teaching File Case 74.- Teaching File Case 75.- Teaching File Case 76.- Teaching File Case 77.- Teaching File Case 78.- Teaching File Case 79.- Teaching File Case 80.- Teaching File Case 81.- Teaching File Case 82.- Teaching File Case 83.- Teaching File Case 84.- Teaching File Case 85.- Teaching File Case 86.- Teaching File Case 87.- Teaching File Case 88.- Teaching File Case 89.- Teaching File Case 90.- Teaching File Case 91.- Teaching File Case 92.- Teaching File Case 93.- Teaching File Case 94.- Teaching File Case 95.- Teaching File Case 96.- Teaching File Case 97.- Teaching File Case 98.- Teaching File Case 99.- Teaching File Case 100.- Teaching File Case 101.- Teaching File Case 102.- Teaching File Case 103.- Teaching File Case 104.- Teaching File Case 105.- Teaching File Case 106.- Teaching File Case 107.- Teaching File Case 108.- Teaching File Case 109.- Teaching File Case 110.- Teaching File Case 111.- Teaching File Case 112.- Teaching File Case 113.- Teaching File Case 114.- Teaching File Case 115.- Teaching File Case 116.- Teaching File Case 117.- Teaching File Case 118.- Teaching File Case 119.- Teaching File Case 120.- Teaching File Case 121.- Teaching File Case 122.- Teaching File Case 123.- Teaching File Case 124.- Teaching File Case 125.- Teaching File Case 126.- Teaching File Case 127.- Teaching File Case 128.- Teaching File Case 129.- Teaching File Case 130.- Teaching File Case 131.- Teaching File Case 132.- Teaching File Case 133.- Teaching File Case 134.- Teaching File Case 135.- Teaching File Case 136.- Teaching File Case 137.- Teaching File Case 138.- Teaching File Case 139.- Teaching File Case 140.- Teaching File Case 141.- Teaching File Case 142.- Teaching File Case 143.- Teaching File Case 144.- Teaching File Case 145.- Teaching File Case 146.- Teaching File Case 147.- Teaching File Case 148.- Teaching File Case 149.- Teaching File Case 150.

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc Compression of Biomedical Images and Signals
Book SynopsisDuring the last decade, image and signal compression for storage and transmission purpose has seen a great expansion. But what about medical data compression? Should a medical image or a physiological signal be processed and compressed like any other data? The progress made in imaging systems, storing systems and telemedicine makes compression in this field particularly interesting. However, this compression has to be adapted to the specificities of biomedical data which contain diagnosis information. As such, this book offers an overview of compression techniques applied to medical data, including: physiological signals, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound images, static and dynamic volumetric images. Researchers, clinicians, engineers and professionals in this area, along with postgraduate students in the signal and image processing field, will find this book to be of great interest.Table of ContentsPreface xiii Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisThe imaging of moving organs such as the heart, in particular, is a real challenge because of its movement. This book presents current and emerging methods developed for the acquisition of images of moving organs in the five main medical imaging modalities: conventional X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging and ultrasound. The availability of dynamic image sequences allows for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of an organ’s dynamics, which is often linked to pathologies.Table of ContentsPREFACE xiii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xv INTRODUCTION xvii PART 1.

Springer London Ltd Practical Signal and Image Processing in Clinical
Book SynopsisModern signal and image acquisition systems used in the field of cardiology acquire, analyze, and store data digitally. Surface electrocardiography, intra-cardiac electrogram recording, echocardiograms, x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography are among the modalities in the cardiology field where signal processing is applied. Digital signal processing techniques allow us to automate many of the analyses that had previously been done manually with greater precision, accuracy and speed, as well as detect features and patterns in data that may be too subtle to observe by eye. As more cardiologists are becoming more reliant on such technology, a basic understanding of digital signals and the techniques used to extract information from these signals are required. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This is a review of the technical aspects of signal processing and its application to various areas of cardiology. … It is intended for cardiologists, physicians in training, and students interested in the basics of signal processing. … This well-organized book provides readers with a clearer understanding of signal processing and data acquisition related to cardiovascular imaging.” (Amit Prasad, Doody’s Review Service, March, 2011)Table of ContentsFundamental Signal and Image Processing Concepts.- Architecture of the Basic Physiologic Recorder.- Analog and Digital Signals.- Signals in the Frequency Domain.- Filters.- Techniques for Event and Feature Detection.- Alternative Techniques for Rate Estimation.- Signal Averaging for Noise Reduction.- Data Compression.- Image Processing.- Cardiology Applications.- Electrocardiography.- Intravascular and Intracardiac Pressure Measurement.- Blood Pressure and Pulse Oximetry.- Coronary Angiography.- Echocardiography.- Nuclear Cardiology: SPECT and PET.- Magnetic Resonance Imaging.- Computed Tomography.- ECG Telemetry and Long Term Electrocardiography.- Intracardiac Electrograms.- Advanced Signal Processing Applications of the ECG: T-Wave Alternans, Heart Rate Variability, and the Signal Averaged ECG.- Digital Stethoscopes.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Rules of Radiology
Book SynopsisThis book gets to the heart of what radiology is and what radiologists do. As a relatively young speciality, there is no guide for radiologists to act as a moral compass. Until now, that is. You will not find any dry technical matters in here. You will not find any clues about how to interpret images better. This book details the ‘other 50%’: the rest of the working week when a radiologist is not reading scans or performing procedures. The essence of radiology is distilled and offered up to the reader. If you want a comfortable read that offers bland reassurances, look elsewhere. If you want a book that questions everything and discusses uncomfortable truths, this is the book for you. Each of the Rules addresses an important part of professional practice. This book is a manifesto for all radiologists across the globe to raise their game, to be more effective and to serve their patients better. Trade Review“The book will inevitably appeal mainly to radiologists and their trainees, or to people who have a spouse, partner or child who is aspires to become one. All the same, there is at least one good reason GPs might be interested in it – apart from its arresting style of writing and sense of humour.” (John Launer, bjgplife.com, December 21, 2021)“McCoubrie has managed to channel this compulsion into the production of a readable, witty tome with pearls of wisdom gleaned from years of experience, a tome that would be profitably read by us all.” (Arpan Banerjee, RAD Magazine, July, 2021)“This book deals with the pressures and challenges of work, not only the work that we, various specialists, carry out but the more complex business of working in teams, personal relations, and group dynamics. A very good read for many reasons and one that can give us a new perspective.” (Eric Watts, The Association of Clinical Pathologists, ACP news, April, 2021)“It looks at many complex aspects of radiology practice, analyzes the reasons why these can be troubling or successful, and it advises on how we should approach them. Many years ago, when I worked on another continent, a colleague suggested that a copy of the radiology billing codes should be kept in the smallest room of the house … . This book is much more appropriate reading in that location -- and much more fun.” (Adrian Brady, AuntminnieEurope.com, March 25, 2021)Table of ContentsRule #1 / / Obey the Rules.- Rule #2 / / Smile .- Rule #3 / / Keep your cool.- Rule #4 / / Work hard.- Rule #5 / / Toughen Up.- Rule #6 / / Respect the machines.- Rule #7 / / Never let a clinician play radiologist .- Rule #8 / / Forgive the sins of the clinician.- Rule #9 / / Don’t be too approachable.- Rule #10 / / Be a good colleague.- Rule #11 / / Never measure anything.- Rule #12 / / Never count anything.- Rule #13 / / The default is to say ‘yes’.- Rule #14 / / Agitation is not an indication.- Rule #15 / / Always help the patient.- Rule #16 / / Be damned careful when saying an outright ‘no’.- Rule #17 / / Don’t study surrogates.- Rule #18 / / Avoid ‘interesting’ cases.- Rule #19 / / Beware the ‘fit 90 year old’.- Rule #20 / / Counteract misjudgement.- Rule #21 / / There is no such thing as a radiological emergency.- Rule #22 / / If you feel resistance, stop pushing.- Rule #23 / / Use words carefully.- Rule #24 / / Brevity is king.- Rule #25 / / Ditch the stethoscope.- Rule #26 / / CT is easy.- Rule #27 / / Don’t answer the phone.- Rule #28 / / Stay safe the easy way.- Rule #29 / / Get off the fence.- Rule #30 / / Don’t pick fights.- Rule #31 / / Beware the ‘good’ case.- Rule #32 / / Don’t fret about complications.- Rule #33 / / We are not the business of exclusion.- Rule #34 / / Trust your clinical instincts.- Rule #35 / / If you have to fail, fail safely.- Rule #36 / / Take clinical details with a pinch of salt.- Rule #37 / / Don’t crap on juniors.- Rule #38 / / Aggressive clinicians need your help.- Rule #39 / / Know loads.- Rule #40 / / Never offer to eat your pants.- Rule #41 / / Radiologists don't wear suede shoes.-Rule #42 / / Never investigate on the day of discharge.- Rule #43 / / Only give clinicians 15 seconds.- Rule #44 / / You can never know too much anatomy.-Rule #45 / / Be careful with "limited" or "quick" studies.- Rule #46 / / Image quality is up to the radiologist.- Rule #47 / / It is never a chordoma.- Rule #48 / / Reporting rooms should be pitch black.- Rule #49 / / Don't touch the screens.- Rule #50 / / Error is inherent to radiology.
