Thieme Medical Publishers Inc Abbreviated MRI of the Breast: A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisAlthough mammography is the primary method used for breast cancer screening, screening mammography is limited especially in women with dense breasts, which includes nearly 50% of all women in the United States. Despite improvements such as digital mammography, computed aided detection, and digital breast tomosynthesis, breast cancer continues to be a leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The recent proliferation of screening breast ultrasound has led to increased health care costs and false positives, with only a slight improvement in breast cancer detection. It is time for a better test. This is the first textbook dedicated to the subject of abbreviated breast MRI (AB-MR). The editors are principal investigators in the first multicenter trial evaluating AB-MR. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert in the field of breast MRI. AB-MR only takes 10 minutes or less to perform, has a comparable cost to screening breast ultrasound, and detects twice as many cancers compared to combined screening with mammography and ultrasound. The improved performance of AB-MR is irrespective of breast density, family history, overall breast cancer risk, and cancer characteristics (e.g. type, staging, invasive or intraductal, primary or recurrent). As such, it will likely become a routine screening tool in women with dense breasts. Key Features A background on breast MR imaging including a review of current research data Fundamental guidelines for implementing, performing, and interpreting AB-MR Technical approaches with proven efficacy, including biopsy methods Accurate interpretation presented in an easy-to-read flow chart format More than 250 high quality color illustrations AB-MR has the potential to help radiologists overcome breast cancer screening limitations and change current standards of practice.

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
