Book SynopsisDas Buch informiert über die operative und konservative Therapie sämtlicher Stadien des Harnblasenkrebses. Entsprechend der großen Bedeutung der histologischen Einschätzung der Tumorausbreitung und Bösartigkeit wird die pathologische Anatomie des Harnblasenkarzinoms ausführlich dargestellt. Bei den operativen Verfahren steht die transurethrale Tumorresektion im Vordergrund. Eine Verbesserung der operativen Behandlung, insbesondere der fortgeschrittenen Stadien des Harnblasenkrebses, bieten die Methoden der integrierten Therapie. Hierzu gehören Chemo- und Strahlentherapie, aber auch die neuesten Verfahren wie die lokale Hyperthermie. Insbesondere die komplizierte integrierte Therapie nimmt in dem Buch breiten Raum ein. Bei den Einzeldarstellungen der verschiedenen tragenden Säulen der integrierten Therapie (Operation, Chemotherapie, Strahlenbehandlung und Hyperthermie) wird übergreifend versucht, das Ineinanderspiel der verschiedenen Therapieformen deutlich zu machen. Die Laserbehandlung, die photodynamische Therapie sowie der Stand der Immuntherapie werden ihrer Bedeutung entsprechend abgehandelt.

Book SynopsisThis open access book presents a wide portfolio of examples of positron emission tomography coupled with computer tomography (PET/CT) studies in various cardiac conditions in order to provide a rationale for the implementation of this technology in an array of clinical conditions. Cardiovascular diseases are a major contributor to premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are particularly affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), with more than 75% of all CVDs deaths occurring in these countries. For this reason, target 3.4 of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda aims at a 30% reduction in premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which include CVDs, by 2030. Among CVDs, ischemic heart disease (IHD) plays an important role and, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), it was responsible for 15.96% of global deaths in 2017. Between 2000 and 2017, the number of IHD deaths worldwide increased by 0.26% per year. Several imaging tools help to non-invasively diagnose, stratify risk and guide management in cardiac disease. They include nuclear cardiology techniques, using either SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) or PET/CT. While myocardial imaging with SPECT has been fully embraced by the cardiology community and is widely available worldwide, PET/CT introduction has been slower, due not only to its higher costs, but also to the limited availability of PET/VCT scanners, mostly utilized for oncological applications. This book is an invaluable tool for nuclear medicine physicians, cardiologists and radiologists.Table of ContentsPreface1. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR CARDIAC PET/CT2.

Book SynopsisSince its first appearance, artificial intelligence has been ensuring revolutionary outcomes in the context of real-world problems. At this point, it has strong relations with biomedical and today’s intelligent systems compete with human capabilities in medical tasks. However, advanced use of artificial intelligence causes intelligent systems to be black-box. That situation is not good for building trustworthy intelligent systems in medical applications. For a remarkable amount of time, researchers have tried to solve the black-box issue by using modular additions, which have led to the rise of the term: interpretable artificial intelligence. As the literature matured (as a result of, in particular, deep learning), that term transformed into explainable artificial intelligence (XAI).This book provides an essential edited work regarding the latest advancements in explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for biomedical applications. It includes not only introductive perspectives but also applied touches and discussions regarding critical problems as well as future insights.Topics discussed in the book include: XAI for the applications with medical images XAI use cases for alternative medical data/task Different XAI methods for biomedical applications Reviews for the XAI research for critical biomedical problems. Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Biomedical Applications is ideal for academicians, researchers, students, engineers, and experts from the fields of computer science, biomedical, medical, and health sciences. It also welcomes all readers of different fields to be informed about use cases of XAI in black-box artificial intelligence. In this sense, the book can be used for both teaching and reference source purposes.Table of Contents1. Gastric Cancer Detection Using Hybrid Based Network and SHAP Analysis 2.

Book SynopsisThe value of ultrasound contrast agents (USCA) in clinical practice depends on the pharmacokinetics, the signal processing, and the contrast-specific imaging modalities. USCA are exogenous non-toxic substances smaller than red blood cells,which after intravenous administration must be stable enough to pass through the pulmonary capillary bed and enter the blood pool producing the necessary contrast enhancement for the duration of the examination. Recently, second-generation agents, such as SonoVue (Bracco Imaging SpA,Milan,Italy),have been introduced into the market. These agents,taking advantage of the stability of their microbubbles,withstand the acoustic pressure of insonation much better than previous USCA,resulting in an increased half-life of the agent and thus in a prolonged diagnostic window. These agents are blood pool agents that remain in the intravascular compartment and do not leak into the organ tissue. Therefore,they are used to - crease the Doppler signal amplitude during their dynamic vascular phase. Concomitant with the improvement of contrast agents,d- ferent contrast-specific imaging modalities have been developed which,used in combination with USCA and a low mechanical - dex (MI),allow continuous real-time grey-scale imaging. These - cent technical improvements have opened new possibilities in the use of USCA in a variety of indications,as shown in the contributions contained in this book. In the following chapters,some of the most distinguished users of second-generation USCA will share their knowledge and experience. The first contributor is Dr. Thomas Albrecht,Department of - diology, University Hospital of Berlin, Germany.Table of ContentsChapter 1-Dynamic Vascular Pattern of Focal Liver Lesions with Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Latest Results with SonoVue.

Book SynopsisThis book will help the reader confused by a multiplicity of diseases responsible for similar symptoms in different patients. The chapters are noticeably sign-oriented rather than disease-oriented, each dealing with one of the four cardinal modalities of HRCT presentation. Each chapter is introduced by a list of diseases, immediately followed by a detailed description of each disease, and the chapters are illustrated with enlarged images giving rhythm to the written text.Trade Review The book is well organized with color coded sections, excellent summary charts and quality coned down HRCT images illustrating the salient radiographic findings.... I found it easy to find pertinent information rapidly. I like the way the book is organized. As a radiologist, I really enjoyed the clinical and pathologic aspects included in a concise fashion. The layout and organization is quite unique compared to other texts on this subject. The authors have succeeded in making a user-friendly, thorough, and well structured guide for the evaluation of patients with diffuse lung disease. I would highly recommend this to physicians from the resident level to the specialist, including radiologists, pulmonologists, internists, and pathologists. (Michael Farah, Doody's Review) "...The size and layout of the book means that it is relatively portable and easy to read. For those radiologists who do not have the time to read the book from cover to cover, there a numerous simplified tables, incorporating disease patterns and suggested diagnoses. These act as a good quick reference guide. Overall, this is a well-written book, which serves both the interested and inexperienced reporter of HRCT. Not only does it act as a useful introduction to diffuse lung disease, but it would be an immensely valuable addition to any CT reporting bench. In addition, the book is entirely relevant to interested thoracic physicians and pathologists." (A. Devaraj, Clin radiol, December 2006) Table of ContentsAnatomy. Bronchovascular bundles.

Book SynopsisNowadays, there is tremendous interest in an integrated imaging approach to urogenital diseases. This interest is tightly linked to the recent technological advances in ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine. Significant improvements in image quality have brought numerous clinical and diagnostic benefits to every medical specialty. This book is organized in nine parts and twenty-seven chapters. The first six chapters review the normal macroscopic and radiological anatomy of the urogenital system. In subsequent chapters, urogenital malformations, lithiasis, as well as infectious and neoplastic disorders of the kidneys, bladder, urinary collecting system, and male and female genitalia are extensively discussed. The pathologic, clinical, and diagnostic (instrumental and not) features of each disease are described, with particular emphasis, in neoplastic pathologies, on primitive tumors and disease relapse. The statics and dynamics of the pelvic floor are addressed as well and there is a detailed presentation of state-of-the-art interventional radiology. The volume stands out in the panorama of the current medical literature by its rich iconography. Over 1000 anatomical illustrations and images, with detailed captions, provide ample evidence of how imaging can guide the therapeutic decision-making process. Imaging of Urogenital Diseases is an up-to-date text for radiologists, urologists, gynecologists, and oncologists, but it also certainly provides an invaluable tool for general practitioners. Its succinct, well-reasoned approach integrates old and new knowledge to obtain diagnostic algorithms. This information will direct the clinician to the imaging modality best-suited to yielding the correct diagnosis.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: “This richly illustrated concisely written (and nicely translated) reference book aims to present the state of the art in both clinical practice and diagnostic imaging combining old and new knowledge and techniques to achieve the best diagnostic algorithms. It is organised into 9 sections … and 27 chapters contributed by Italian experts from different disciplines. While mainly intended for urologists, gynaecologists, oncologists and radiologists, it would also serve as a useful reference book for general practitioners.” (The International Continence Society, Vol. 6 (2), July, 2010)Table of ContentsForeword.- Preface.- Part I: Anatomy.- Chapter 1 Urinary System: Normal Gross and Microscopic Anatomy.- Chapter 2 Urinary System: Normal Radiologic Anatomy.- Chapter 3 Male Reproductive System: Normal Gross and Microscopic Anatomy.- Chapter 4 Male Reproductive System: Normal Radiologic Anatomy.- Chapter 5 Female Reproductive System: Normal Gross and Microscopic Anatomy.- Chapter 6 Female Reproductive System: Normal Radiologic Anatomy.- Part II: Malformation.- Chapter 7 Clinics and Imaging.- Part III: Urinary System Disease.- Chapter 8 Clinical Approach.- Chapter 9 Diagnostic Imaging.- Part IV: Disease of the Male Reproductive System.- Chapter 10 Clinical Approach to Prostate Disease.- Chapter 11 Diagnostic Imaging of the Prostate.- Chapter 12 Clinical Approach to Testicular Disease.- Chapter 13 Diagnostic Imaging of the Testicle.- Part V: Oncologic Recurrences of the Male Reproductive System.- Chapter 14 Clinical Approach.- Chapter 15 Diagnostic Imaging.- Part VI: Female Pelvic Floor.- Chapter 16 Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Clinics and Imaging.- Part VII: Disease of the Female Reproductive System.- Chapter 17 Endometriosis, Pelvic Pain: Clinics and Imaging.- Chapter 18 Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: Clinics and Imaging.- Chapter 19 Clinical Approach to Uterine Disease.- Chapter 20 Diagnostic Imaging of the Uterus.- Chapter 21 Clinical Approach to Adnexal Disease.- Chapter 22 Diagnostic Imaging of the Adnexa.- Part VIII: Oncologic Recurrences of the Female Reproductive System.- Chapter 23 Clinical Approach.- Chapter 24 Diagnostic Imaging.- Part IX: Interventional Radiology.- Chapter 25 Prostate Biopsy.- Chapter 26 Treatment of Varicocele.- Chapter 27 Drainage and Embolization Techniques.- Subject Index.

Book SynopsisThe term “acute abdomen” refers to a serious, often progressive clinical situation that calls for immediate diagnostic and therapeutic action. Today, diagnosis via imaging has basically replaced the physical examination in the emergency room and the Radiologist has become of primary importance in this setting. However, close co-operation among the various specialists involved is essential for successful patient management, and thus the Radiologist needs to have a full understanding of the imaging modalities and technical skills required, as well as appropriate clinical knowledge of the disorder in order to manage the condition. This book provides a comprehensive review of the multifaceted etiology, pathophysiology and clinical presentation of acute abdominal conditions, focusing on the imaging features that are relevant to a timely management approach. Numerous high-quality images, diagrams and easy-to-read tables are provided.Table of ContentsAcute Abdomen: Clinical Context and Indications to Imaging.- Acute Abdomen: Rational use of US, MDCT and MRI.- Liver and Bile Ducts.- Gallbladder.- Spleen.- Pancreas.- Kidney, Ureter, Adrenal Gland.- Gastrointestinal Tract.- Pelvis.- Vascular Emergencies of the Retroperitoneum.- MRI of the Acute Abdomen.- Acute Abdomen in the pediatric population.- The Role of Interventional Radiology.

Book SynopsisThis book reviews in detail the role of neuroradiological imaging in the evaluation of patients who have undergone surgery or interventional radiology procedures, and particularly its value in the documentation of normal and pathological post-treatment changes, detection of complications, and follow-up. The opening sections describe pretreatment images in various conditions, including trauma, degenerative disc disease, and osteoporosis, and the different types of neurosurgical and interventional treatment that may be used. The post-treatment appearances of normal sequelae and complications on conventional radiography, CT, and MRI are then documented in detail on the basis of a large series of clinical cases, with a wealth of images. Guidance is provided on selection of one or a combination of imaging modalities. This book will be an invaluable clinical and research tool not only for neuroradiologists but also for neurosurgeons, and interventional radiologists.Table of Contents 1. Pathology.- 2.

Book SynopsisAccording to reports in the literature, despite the severe disruption of carpal anatomy, fracture-dislocations of the wrist are missed on clinical and radiographic examination in a high percentage of cases. Orthopedic surgeons’ lack of familiarity with these injuries is one of the factors contributing to failed or delayed diagnosis. This richly illustrated book covers all types of wrist dislocation and fracture-dislocation. Detailed information is provided on anatomy and biomechanics, while terminology and classification of injuries are explained. Treatment options are thoroughly analysed, with special emphasis on surgical treatment, which is presented step by step. All of the figures – radiological and surgical – relate to patients treated by the author himself. Most of the cases are from the Red Cross Hospital of Athens that admits many patients with such injuries, in part through referral from other centres due to the author’s acknowledged expertise in the field. This volume, with its highly informative and up-to-date chapters and reviews, and a wealth of color figures, will be of great practical value for clinicians and residents in orthopedic surgery, who assist them in daily decision making. Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This is a focused, well-organized book on the normal anatomy, biomechanics, and fracture- dislocations of the wrist. … This book is written for practicing surgeons as well as fellows and residents in training who encounter patients with these usually high-energy, relatively uncommon, injuries. … This is a necessary book for the academic orthopedic library.” (Samuel J.

Book SynopsisAn echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of the heart. This common test allows a doctor to see the heart beating and pumping blood, and subsequently identify heart disease. This book is a complete guide to performing and interpreting an echocardiogram. 56 chapters describe both basic and advanced techniques for diagnosing different heart disorders. The second edition has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest developments and techniques in the field. Seven new chapters have been added to this edition covering echocardiography and artificial intelligence, hypertension, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Kawasaki disease, cardio-oncology, diabetes mellitus, and foetal echo. Dedicated chapters emphasise the role of echo in surgical procedures, and explore its use with electrophysiology – in patients with pacemakers and those undergoing cardiac resynchronisation therapy. The book is highly illustrated with many 2D and 3D echo images helping explain the descriptive text for each topic.

Book SynopsisIschemic colitis is becoming increasingly one of the most important conditions involving the colon. This is due to a combination of multiple factors: (1) increasing age of the world population due to improved public health conditions and advances in medicine; (2) diagnostic advances in recognizing the condition; and, (3) education of physicians who suspect the disease in elderly individuals with colonic symptoms. The disease is a great masquerader of other conditions and can be mistaken for ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or almost any other inflammatory disease of the large bowel. It can have shallow ulcers, deep ulcers, filiform polyps, and pseudomembrane. It can produce fistulae or toxic megacolon. The thumb­ printing and other acute findings are not always seen and the site of involvement may be atypical. It is therefore so important to have a book dealing with this condition extensively and in detail. This scholarly presentation based on large clinical experience significantly contributes to the knowledge of this important disease that will assume even more importance as other conditions involving the colon are successfully treated. As physicians, radiologists and even pathologists have difficulty in diagnosing this condition that appears under multiple guises the information contained here should be invaluable. Alexander R. Margulis, M. D.

Book SynopsisMagnetic resonance imaging has already become a most valuable imaging modality in the diagnostic work-up of musculoskeletal neoplasms. While high accuracy of MRI for staging purposes has been proven, we will focus in this monograph on the characterization of primary bone and soft tissue tumors by MRI. The major purpose of this monograph is to provide an atlas of magnetic resonance features of primary bone and soft tissue tumors for radiologists, orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists. The results presented are based on investigations of 94 primary bone and soft tissue tumors and mimicking conditions by magnetic resonance imaging. Although the scale of the material allows for statistical handling, the number of patients per subgroup is too small to come to definite conclusions. We will therefore limit ourselves to the description of and comments on a great number of cases to illustrate the diagnostic potential of this new imaging modality. We would like to thank the anonymous cooperators: referring clinicians, pathologists, nurses, technicians and secretaries whose help enabled us to present this monograph. We would also like to express our gratitude to the firms Siemens AG and Schering AG for technical support.Table of Contents1 General Considerations about Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors.- 2 Materials and Methods.- Benign Bone Tumors and Mimicking Conditions.- 3 Osteoid Osteoma.- 4 Enchondroma.- 5 Osteochondroma.- 6 Giant Cell Tumor.- 7 Vertebral Hemangioma.- 8 Solitary Bone Cyst.- 9 Aneurysmal Bone Cyst.- 10 Non Ossifying Fibroma.- 11 Eosinophilic Granuloma.- 12 Fibrous Dysplasia.- 13 Osteomyelitis.- Malignant Bone Tumors.- 14 Osteogenic Sarcoma.- 15 Chondrosarcoma.- Benign Soft Tissue Tumors.- 16 Lipoma.- Neurogenic Tumor.- Soft Tissue Hemangioma.- Aggressive Fibromatosis.- Malignant Soft Tissue Tumors.- 17 Liposarcoma.- 18 Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma.- 19 Rhabdomyosarcoma.- 20 Value of Contrast (Gd-DTPA)-Enhanced MRI Studies in Cases of Musculoskeletal Tumors.- 21 General Conclusions.

Book SynopsisThis book is directed towards post-graduates who have passed Part I of the examination for Membership of the Royal College of Physicians and are preparing for Part II. However, it is hoped that physicians at all stages of their careers will find some parts that interest them. Most of the material has appeared in the Hospital Update series, 'Preparation for MRCP', but this has been modified and expanded; many useful points arising from correspondence relating to the series have been included, and the authors would like to express their thanks to those who have written. It is not intended that this should be used as a work of reference, although there is detailed discussion of some subjects. Only the written part of the examination is dealt with in detail, but the introduction contains hints on tackling the clinical sections which the authors hope the candidates will find valuable. There is, however, no substitute for clinical practice under supervision. The questions in Vll PREFACE the written section of the examination require short answers so that marking may be easy and objective. This book contains questions similar to those that may be encountered in the examination, but the answers have been expanded as a basis for discussion. It is hoped that this will encourage the candidate to read around the subjects covered, and the authors recommend that the questions are used as a basis for group discussion, as answers other than those in the text may be considered.Table of ContentsWritten section.- Clinical section.- Table of normal values.- Section 1: Case Histories.- Questions.- Answers.- Section 2: Slide Interpretation.- Questions: Colour slides.- Aids for X-ray interpretation.- Questions: X-rays.- Answers.- Section 3: Data Interpretation.- Aids for interpretation of cardiac catheter data.- Questions.- Answers.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to highlight all the existing information available on first and mid-trimester imaging of palate in prenatal ultrasound and to develop a methodical approach in imaging the palate. As formation of the palate is completed by 11 weeks of gestation and as there are no evolving changes in palatine anatomy at the mid-trimester, diagnosis of palatine clefts can now completely be shifted to late first-trimester. First-trimester evaluation of palate is now gaining importance and a number of techniques have currently been proposed by different authors.This book covers the existing literature and recent 2D and 3D techniques in evaluating palate and helps in the early detection of palatine clefts in the first trimester. Orofacial clefting is one of the most common birth defects and the burden of it in developing countries is substantial. This book helps in improving the counseling options for the obstetrician and the couple early in gestation. It includes 2D and 3D images of various types of palatine clefts and the nuances in imaging the secondary palate extensively. 3D images of the palate also help the multi-disciplinary team especially the maxillofacial surgeons involved in managing orofacial clefts. It also includes videos for easy understanding.This book is a ready reckoner for the imaging specialists and students /trainees involved in prenatal diagnosis. It provides essential information in diagnosing orofacial cleft both to the novice and to the skilled professionals involved in the field of diagnostic fetal ultrasound. Table of ContentsOrofacial clefting.- Embryology.- Classification of clefts / Nomenclature.- Sonoanatomy of palate at 11-14 weeks.- Described markers to detect first trimester palatine clefts.- Multiplanar imaging at 11-14 week.- Defining type and extent of cleft in first trimester.- Sonoanatomy of palate at 20 weeks.- 3D techniques to evaluate palate in second trimester.- Evaluation of facial cleft in second trimester.- Isolated cleft of palate.- Syndromes and associations [micrognathia].- MRI in orofacial cleft.
