Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Physics of Clinical MR Taught Through Images
Book SynopsisThe objective of this 5th edition of the book, as with the prior editions, is to teach through images a practical approach to magnetic resonance (MR) physics and image quality. Unlike other texts covering this topic, the focus is on clinical images rather than equations. A practical approach to MR physics is developed through images, emphasizing knowledge of fundamentals important to achieve high image quality. Pulse diagrams are also included, which many at first find difficult to understand. Readers are encouraged to glance at these as they go through the text. With time and repetition, as a reader progresses through the book, the value of these and the knowledge thus available will become evident (and the diagrams themselves easier to understand). The text is organized into concise chapters, each discussing an important point relevant to clinical MR and illustrated largely with images from routine patient exams. The topics covered encompass the breadth of the field, from imaging basics and pulse sequences to advanced topics including contrast-enhanced MR angiography, spectroscopy, perfusion and advanced parallel imaging/data sparsity techniques. Discussion of the latest hardware and software innovations, for example next generation low field MR, deep learning, MR-PET, 7 T, interventional MR, 4D flow, CAIPIRINHA, spiral techniques, radial acquisition, simultaneous multislice, compressed sensing and MR fingerprinting, is included because these topics are critical to current clinical practice as well as to future advances. Included in the fifth edition are a large number of new topics, keeping the text up to date in this increasingly complex field. The text has also been thoroughly revised to include additional relevant clinical images, to improve the clarity of descriptions, and to increase the depth of content.The book is highly recommended for radiologists, physicists, and technologists interested in the background of image acquisition used in standard as well as specialized clinical settings. Trade Review“The book remains a comprehensive text, with good quality image reproduction. With the addition of the new section the content is reasonably up to date. … this book … is a good reference book if you want to see clinical examples of a particular concept.” (Martin Graves, RAD Magazine, September, 2023)Table of ContentsSection I.

Springer International Publishing AG From Radio-phobia to Radio-euphoria: Low Radiation Doses: Safe, Useful, and Necessary
This book gives a detailed discussion of the initial enthusiasm triggered by the discovery of x-rays and radioactive radiation which later turned into fear and repulsion in a significant part of the global population up to the 21st century.After a historical review, the author discusses the effect of ionizing radiation on living cells, tissues and organisms. He then describes the relationship between the dose of radiation and the effect it produces. He shows how the dose-effect dependence is measured and what models of describing such dependences are used. He also discusses how radiation acts on living organisms: disorders in the genetic apparatus, mutation formation and so on. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the results of numerous health studies of large groups of people who, for one reason or another, were exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation, including those that significantly exceed the natural radiation background. The author concludes that low doses of radiation are safe and can even be beneficial (as known from medical radiation treatment); and also that the natural radiation background is necessary for the normal growth and development and well-being of a living organism. The author also discusses cases and effects of large doses, arguing, however, that dangerous doses of radiation are very unlikely. This book challenges radio-phobia. It not only offers arguments helping to overcome an unreasonable fear but, based on the latest understanding of science, argues to gradually move back, not to the former radio-euphoria, but to a new, conscious attitude towards radiation.

Book SynopsisBuilding on the success of the first edition of this book, the winner of the 2004 British Medical Association Radiology Medical Book Competition, Quantitative MRI of the Brain: Principles of Physical Measurement gives a unique view on how to use an MRI machine in a new way. Used as a scientific instrument it can make measurements of a myriad of physical and biological quantities in the human brain and body. For each small tissue voxel, non-invasive information monitors how tissue changes with disease and responds to treatment.The book opens with a detailed exposition of the principles of good practice in quantification, including fundamental concepts, quality assurance, MR data collection and analysis and improved study statistical power through minimised instrumental variation. There follow chapters on 14 specific groups of quantities: proton density, T1, T2, T2*, diffusion, advanced diffusion, magnetisation Trade Review"Upon its release in 2003, Paul Tofts’ 'Quantitative MRI of the Brain' instantly became a classic among MR textbooks as it comprised the up-to-then knowledge on quantitation using MRI. Now, more than a decade later, it was due time for an update on this rapidly developing field, and the second edition by Cercignani, Dowell, and Tofts will surely become as popular.The chapters are written by international experts in the field cover the whole scope of qMRI techniques to study the human brain. The extended chapter on quality assurance is particularly instructive to medical physics experts. The chapters on the philosophical groundwork of the principles of physical measurement have been thoroughly extended, making it a must read for students entering the field of qMRI and an inspiration for reflections of senior researchers. I am using the second edition extensively for teaching students."—Dr. Gunther Helms, Senior lecturer, Swedish National 7T Facility, Lund University, Sweden "'Quantitative MRI of the Brain', edited by Cercignani, Dowell and Tofts, is a comprehensive and authoritative reference for this important area of research, which is rapidly developing with novel scanning techniques and increasing interest in microstructure imaging. The book provides an accessible introduction for those new to the field, while offering advanced readers sufficient detail on the broad variety of quantification approaches in anatomical and physiological imaging. The discussion of each quantitative parameter and technique is well balanced to cover theory, technical aspects, biological interpretation, and applications. This second edition of 'Quantitative MRI of the Brain', a substantial and timely revision, promises to become a classic as its predecessor already is."—Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Weiskopf, Director of Department of Neurophysics, Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, GermanyTable of ContentsConcepts: Measurement in MRI.
