Thieme Medical Publishers Inc Lung Cancer Screening
Book SynopsisLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among men and women in the U.S. and worldwide. For many decades, lung cancer was the sole cancer among the deadly four without an evidence-based screening method for decreasing mortality. This changed in November 2011, when findings from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial showed low-dose lung CT screening was more efficacious in reducing deaths in high-risk individuals than conventional radiography. As such, an ever-increasing number of health organizations now recommend this screening protocol. Lung Cancer Screening by Mark Parker and esteemed VCU Health colleagues, fulfills the dire need for a comprehensive guide explaining the crucial aspects of lung cancer screenings. The first two chapters lay a foundation with discussion of lung cancer epidemiology and risk factors beyond cigarette smoking. Subsequent chapters cover the fundamentals, with clinical pearls on setting up a successful lung cancer screening program, patient eligibility criteria, imaging variances of tumors in the lungs, screening pros and cons, and interpreting/reporting screening results. The evolution and future of lung cancer screenings Detection and management of unexpected incidental pulmonary and non-pulmonary findings Discussion of test cases utilizing the Lung-RADSTM risk-stratifying system for low-dose chest CT screenings Benefits and potential harms associated with mass lung cancer screening programs including false positive, false negative, and over-diagnosis rates This state-of-the-art guide is essential reading for radiologists, oncologists, pulmonologists, and internists. It is a must-have bookshelf reference for hospital radiology and oncology departments, in particular for those setting up new lung cancer screening programs.Table of Contents1 Lung Cancer Epidemiology 2 Risk Factors for Lung Cancer 3 Evolution of Lung Cancer Screening 4 Lung Cancer Screening Pros and Cons 5 Variable Imaging Presentations of Lung Cancer 6 Lung Cancer–Screening Results Reporting 7 Detection and Management of Unexpected Incidental Pulmonary and Nonpulmonary Findings 8 Elements of a Successful Lung Cancer–Screening Program 9 Future of Lung Cancer Screening 10 Test Cases: Applying Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS)

Springer International Publishing AG Integrated Diagnostics and Theranostics of
Book SynopsisThis open access book provides basic concepts on Integrated Diagnostics and Theranostics with special emphasis on different human thyroid diseases. Thyroid diseases are increasingly detected (incidentally in many cases) but are clinically negligible in a significant proportion of patients. Accordingly, it is urgent to move from the simple disease detection to a reliable disease characterization in order to concentrate efforts on patients in need of tailored disease management. The current scenario of in vitro and in vivo diagnostics, is fastly moving toward the Integrated Diagnostics (i.e. convergence of imaging, pathology and laboratory tests with advanced information technology). Furthermore, the integration of different information will aid clinicians to properly select treatments and stratify patients’ prognosis over time. Theranostics is a perfect paradigm of such integrated approach and radioiodine, indicated for benign and malignant thyroid disease management, was the first and is still the mostly used theranostic agent in medicine. Featuring basics concepts and clinical cases discussions the Atlas will be an invaluable tool for clinicians, laboratory specialists, imaging physicians and biomedical technologists involved in diagnosis and therapy of thyroid diseases.Trade Review“This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited admission to it … . this book is useful for all those interested in updating themselves in the field of diagnosis and therapy of thyroid diseases. … I strongly suggest to acquire this book, eventually also purchasing a paper copy for your department.” (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 50 (13), 2023)Table of ContentsIntegrated Diagnostics: the future of Diagnostic Medicine?Artificial intelligence and machine learning in integrated diagnosticThyroid dysfunctions: integrate to simplifyIntegrated thyroid imaging: ultrasound and scintigraphyNon-invasive imaging-biomarkers of thyroid nodules with indeterminate cytologyRadioiodine Theranostics of benign thyroid diseasesRadioiodine Theranostics of differentiated thyroid carcinomaBiomarkers and molecular imaging in postoperative DTC managementDefinition of radioactive iodine refractory thyroid cancer AND REDIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIESIntegrated Diagnostics and Theranostics of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma and Related Syndromes

Thieme Publishing Group Normal Findings in Radiography
Book SynopsisThe method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today. This book deals with a subject that is seemingly trivial: normal findings in radiology. However, the normal is also the frequent, but not always the simple. Every radiologist has experienced difficulties in the systematics of imaging and with phrasing the diagnosis. This book is intended to answer three questions: How should the diagnosis be phrased? Which general scheme can I use to evaluate an image; how can I check for the degree of normality? Which data allow me to evidence normality, and what measurements should be taken? In spite of the introduction of digital X-ray imaging, the interpretation of conventional X-rays has not basically changed during the past ten years, which is evidenced by the development of this book. Since its first publication in 1987, it has gone through several unchanged reprints. In the 2nd German edition the text has hardly been changed; however, several new images have been added. The method of making findings and the systematic method of interpreting images are still relevant today. Consequently, the strict and systematic organization of the book was left unchanged. The new layout leads to a clearer accessibility of the material for the reader.Table of ContentsThe Skull The Spine The Upper Extremity The Lower Extremity Stress Radiographs Other Plain Films Spot Film Radiography Conventional Tomography Contrast Examinations of the Gastrointestinal Tract Intravenous Contrast Studies Arthrography Arteriography Venography Special Examinations
