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.

Book SynopsisThis is the first textbook entirely dedicated to the endovascular treatment of complications related to arteriovenous accesses for hemodialysis (native fistulas and prosthetic grafts). The book addresses the anatomy of upper limb arteries and veins as well as the clinical presentation of patients and the way to perform and read a fistulogram. Many details and illustrations are provided, clarifying the subtleties in catheterization and the dilation of stenoses. From a strategic point of view, it is explained for the first time that many stenoses must either be ignored or deliberately underdilated. A wealth of images helps to understand the different stages of access recovery from thrombosis. As the number of incident dialysis patients is increasing by 5% every year, this is a field of growing interest. In testament to this there are several annual or bi-annual meetings held by numerous national and international societies (vascularaccesssociety.com, sfav.org, vasamd.org, dialysiscontroversies.org, asdin.org).Table of ContentsGlory and weakness of interventional radiology in dialysis accesses.- The nephrologist, the interventional radiologist and the place of the vascular access in the treatment of end stage renal disease.- Vascular access strategy.- Natural history of vascular accesses.- Radiological anatomy and pre-operative imaging of upper limb vessels.- Which indications and which imaging method for the dialysis access?.- Psychological and clinical aspects.- Clinical pre-requisites prior to angiography.- Angiography (« fistulography »).- Dilation and stents.- Hand ischemia.- How dealing with the thrombosed access?.- Percutaneous occlusion of dialysis accesses.- Diagnostic and interventional radiology of arterio-venous accesses for hemodialysis: a European perspective.- Clinical complications during and after endovascular treatments.- Immediate and long-term results of interventional radiology in dialysis accesses.- Annexes.

Book SynopsisThis volume provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the use of MRI and CT to identify and characterize developmental anomalies and acquired diseases of the female genital tract. Both benign and malignant diseases are considered in depth, and detailed attention is also paid to normal anatomic findings and variants. Further individual chapters focus on the patient with pelvic pain and the use of MRI for pelvimetry during pregnancy and the evaluation of fertility. Compared with the first edition, chapters have been either newly written by different authors or updated to reflect intervening progress; in addition, imaging of the placenta is now covered. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the most recent diagnostic and technical advances, and the text is complemented by many detailed and informative illustrations. All of the authors are acknowledged experts in diagnostic imaging of the female pelvis, and the volume will prove an invaluable aid to everyone with an interest in this field.Table of Contents1.
