Medical imaging Books

Book SynopsisThis book systematically covers MRI imaging findings of a spectrum of gynaecological diseases, including ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, cervical cancer, and endometrial cancer, etc. All chapters are arranged in the same format: simply clinical history is firstly presented in order to help readers mimic the real clinical scenario, and then untypical features in many common diseases and typical features in many uncommon diseases are interpreted. In the end of each chapter, tips in differential diagnosis were summarized by analysing a class of cases with similar imaging performance. All cases in the book have the detailed pathological results, and the pathological specimens are also shown in some cases. It will be an ideal reference for physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of gynaecological diseases.Table of ContentsMagnetic Resonance Examination of Female Pelvis.- Uterine Fibroids.- Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.- Endometrial Carcinosarcoma.- Endometrial Adenosarcoma.- Leiomyosarcoma of Uterus.- Uterine Lymphoma.- Cervical Cancer.- Endometrial Carcinoma.- Vulvar and Vaginal Cancer.- Leiomyoma of Vulva.- Ovarian Serous Cystadenoma.- Ovarian Mucinous Cystadenoma.- Ovarian Transitional Cell Tumor.- Ovarian Fibroma.- Struma Ovarii.- Ovarian Thecoma.- Ovarian Sclerosing Stromal Tumor.- Ovarian Endometrioid Cyst.- Ovarian Serous Adenocarcinoma.- Ovarian Mucinous Adenocarcinoma.- Ovarian Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma.- Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma.- Ovarian Dysgerminoma.- Ovarian Granulosa Cell Tumors.- Recurrent Ovarian Granulosa Cell Tumor.- Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor.- Ovarian Yolk Sac Tumor.- Ovarian Lymphoma.- Ovarian Carcinoma.- Ovarian Immature Teratoma.- Borderline Epithelial Tumor of the Ovary.- Sermucinous Borderline Tumor Derived from Endometriosis.- Hydatidiform Mole.- Invasive Hydatidiform Mole.- Choriocarcinoma.- Ovarian Metastatic Cancer.- Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.- Interventional Treatment of Uterine Fibroids.- Interventional Treatment of Adenomyosis.- Gynaecological Disease in Young Women.- Pelvic Suppurative Inflammation.- Pelvic Tuberculosis.- Hydrosalpinx.- Cervical Tubular Lobular Hyperplasia.- Rectosigmoid Endometriosis.- Cesarean Scar Pregnancy.- Angular Pregnancy.- Pelvic Floor Disfunction.

Book SynopsisUp Against the Wall: Art, Activism, and the AIDS Poster offers nearly 200 examples of visually arresting and socially meaningful posters. Taken from more than 8,000 held in the collection in the University of Rochester's River Campus Libraries' Department of Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation. The collection, one of the largest of its kind in the world, was donated to the University of Rochester by Dr. Edward Atwater. The book accompanies an exhibition of AIDS education posters displayed at the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester, Rochester, NY. The posters, spanning the years from 1982 to the present, show how social, religious, civic, and public health agencies have addressed the controversial, often contested terrain of the HIV/AIDS pandemic within the public realm. Organizations and creators tailored their messages to audiences, both broad and very specific, and used a wide array of strategies, employing humor, emotion, scare tactics, simple scientific explanations, sexual imagery, and many other methods to communicate powerfully and effectively.Trade ReviewWhile scholarly in its focus, the text is readable to a wider audience, and makes an essential addition to any collector of health-focused and activist art. * Bay Area Reporter *Up Against the Wall: Art, Activism, and the AIDS Poster, edited by Donald Albrecht, Jessica Lacher-Feldman, and William M.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive and self-contained text presents the fundamentals of optical imaging from the viewpoint of both ray and wave optics, within a single volume. Comprising three distinct parts, it opens with an introduction to electromagnetic theory, including electromagnetic diffraction problems and how they can be solved with the aid of standard numerical methods such as RCWA or FDTD. The second part is devoted to the basic theory of geometrical optics and the study of optical aberrations inherent in imaging systems, including large-scale telescopes and high-resolution projection lenses. A detailed overview of state-of-the-art optical system design provides readers with the necessary tools to successfully use commercial optical design software. The final part explores diffraction theory and concludes with vectorial wave propagation, image formation and image detection in high-aperture imaging systems. The wide-ranging perspective of this important book provides researchers and professTrade Review'The breadth and depth of material in this book is astonishing. It will be a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any optical scientist with an interest in imaging. Anyone from a new graduate student to an expert with a lifetime of experience will be able to learn something from this text. I could imagine 'Braat and Török' becoming for optical imaging what 'Born and Wolf' is for classical optics.' Martin Booth, University of Oxford'A decade of the authors teaching graduate students led to the genesis of this comprehensive yet extremely clearly written book that fills the lacunae of multiple sources on imaging optics. I know of no other single source with a single notation that can substitute for Imaging Optics. This masterful treatise/textbook, replete with clear figures, will become a classic in optics. With a rigorous foundation of electromagnetic-wave propagation, the authors develop geometric optics, aberrations and optical design with many applications. A detailed analysis of diffraction in optical imaging is developed for the complete vector theory, including consideration of polarization. The vector theory of optical imaging of a point object with high-numerical-aperture microscope objectives is a topic of great utility in microscopy.' Barry R. Masters, Optics and Photonics News'Braat and Török manage a journey from Maxwell's equations to lens design in a seamless, beautifully written masterwork. This text will surely be an essential resource for an array of scientists and engineers, ranging from specialised designers to end users of imaging systems.' P. Scott Carney, University of Rochester'Imaging Optics establishes a clear connection among the electrodynamic theory of optical propagation, the various approaches to diffraction theory, and the practical methods used in the design and optimization of imaging systems … Imaging Optics [is] not only a good choice for students, but also a useful reference book for physicists and engineers interested in the design, development, and optimization of optical imaging systems.'

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.

Book SynopsisMagnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) provide complementary views to the neurodynamics of healthy and diseased human brains. Both methods are totally noninvasive and can track with millisecond temporal resolution spontaneous brain activity, evoked responses to various sensory stimuli, as well as signals associated with the performance of motor, cognitive and affective tasks.MEG records the magnetic fields, and EEG the potentials associated with the same neuronal currents, which however are differentially weighted due to the physical and physiological differences between the methods. MEG is rather selective to activity in the walls of cortical folds, whereas EEG senses currents from the cortex (and brain) more widely, making it harder to pinpoint the locations of the source currents in the brain. Another important difference between the methods is that skull and scalp dampen and smear EEG signals, but do not affect MEG. Hence, to fully understand brain function, Trade ReviewThis Primer fulfills a gap in the human neurophysiology literature where no book exists dealing with MEG and EEG in equal terms. This is important since both methodologies are, in essence, complementary and jointly can be used to answer specific scientific questions with respect to a variety of brain functions. Special attention is paid to comparisons of findings obtained using both MEG and EEG modalities, what can yield important new insights, particularly in the growing field of cognitive neuroscience. Written in an appealing style, this Primer embraces the whole field of human neurophysiology." -Fernando Lopes Da Silva, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor, Center of Neuroscience, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, Amsterdam, The NetherlandsTable of ContentsPREFACE PREAMBLE SECTION 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION MEG and EEG Setups Comparison of MEG and EEG Structure of this Primer CHAPTER 2: INSIGHTS INTO THE HUMAN BRAIN Overview of the Human Brain How to Obtain Information About Brain Function Timing in Human Behavior Functional Structure of the Human Cerebral Cortex Communication Between Brain Areas Thalamocortical Connections Intra-Brain Connectivity Electric Signaling in Neurons Membrane Potential Action Potentials Postsynaptic Potentials CHAPTER 3: BASIC PHYSICS AND PHYSIOLOGY OF MEG AND EEG An Overview of MEG and EEG Signal Generation Charges and Electric Current Ohm's and Kirchoff's Laws Relationship Between Current and Magnetic Field Superconductivity Inverse Problem Source Currents Primary Current Layers, Open Fields, and Closed Fields Intracortical Cancellation Volume Conduction Spherical Head Model Some General Points About Source Localization CHAPTER 4: AN OVERVIEW OF EEG AND MEG Historical Aspects Early EEG Recordings Early MEG Recordings Brain Rhythms Evoked and Event-Related Responses SECTION 2 CHAPTER 5: INSTRUMENTATION FOR MEG AND EEG EEG Instrumentation Electrodes EEG Amplifiers Differential Amplifiers, Common Mode Rejection, and Amplifier Input Impedances Standard Electrode Positions Effects of Reference Electrode on Potential Distribution Re-Referencing Relative to an Average Reference MEG Instrumentation Squids and Squid Electronics Flux Transformers and Their Configuration Shielding Other Means to Maintain a Noise-Free Environment Stimulators and Monitoring Devices Auditory Stimulators Visual Stimulators Somatosensory Stimulators Stimulators for Inducing Acute Pain Passive-Movement Stimulators (Proprioception Stimulation) Monitoring Devices Future Developments of EEG and MEG Instrumentation Developments in EEG Developments in MEG CHAPTER 6.
