Download or read book Diagnostic Imaging of Kidney Tools and Techniques written by Eliza Harris and published by States Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagnostic imaging of the kidneys is used to analyze the kidneys and their function. Several imaging techniques are used for diagnostic imaging such as MRI, ultrasound and CT scan. The medical imagining technique which makes use of strong magnetic fields, radio waves and magnetic field gradients for the purpose of producing images of the organs in the body is known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It helps to detect and characterize renal lesions. MRI of the kidneys is used in cases wherein a person's renal system is compromised, or suffers from contrast allergy. It is also used avoid radiation exposure to people such as pregnant women and small children. In cases where the CT scan results are nondiagnostic, MRI can be used as a problem solving modality. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the diagnostic imaging of the kidneys. It presents studies on the tools and techniques used within this field in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.

Download or read book Advanced Clinical MRI of the Kidney written by Suraj D. Serai and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers the concepts of quantitative MRI for kidney imaging. Kidney MRI holds incredible promise for making a quantum leap in improving diagnosis and care of patients with a multitude of diseases, by moving beyond the limitations and restrictions of current routine clinical practice. Clinical kidney MRI is advancing with ever increasing rapidity, and yet, it is still not good enough. Several roadblocks still slow the pace of progress, particularly inefficient education of renal MR researchers, and lack of harmonization of approaches that limits the sharing of results among multiple research groups. With the help of this book, we aim to address these limitations, by providing a comprehensive collection of more chapters on MRI methods that serve as a foundational resource for clinical kidney MRI studies. This includes chapters describing the fundamental principles underlying a variety of kidney MRI methods, step-by-step protocols for executing kidney MRI studies, and detailed guides for post-processing and data analysis. This collection serves as a crucial part of a roadmap towards conducting kidney MRI studies in a robust and reproducible way, that promotes the standardization and sharing of data, and ultimately, clinical translation. Chapters are divided into three parts: MRI physics and acquisition protocols, post-processing and data analysis methods, and clinical applications. The first section includes MRI physics background and describe a detailed step by step MRI acquisition protocol. If a clinician would like to perform a renal MRI – this would include the parameters to set up the acquisition on the scanner. By this section, the reader should have the details to be able to successfully collect human renal MR images. In the second section, expert authors describe methods on how to post-process and analyze the data. By this section, the reader should have the details to be able to successfully generate quantitative data from the human renal MR images. In the final section, chapters show clinical examples of various methods. Authors share examples of multi-parametric renal MRI that are being used in clinical practice. This is an ideal guide for clinicians from radiology, nephrology, physiology, clinical scientists, and as well as basic scientists and experts in imaging sciences and physics of kidney MRI. It also provides an opportunity to students, trainees, and post-doctoral fellows to learn about these kidney MRI techniques.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All unsuccessful revolutions are the same, but each successful one is different in its own distinctive way. The reason why revolutions occur is that new forces attain increasing significance and classic institutions are incapable of accomodating these forces. Such has been the pattern of events in the English, American and French revolutions. These successful revolutions produced a new dynamic and new perspectives. One English revolutionary put this succinctly: "Let us be doing, but let us be united in doing". This book sets out what is a revolution in. the perspectives of diagnostic imaging of the kidney and urinary tract. Forces which have brought about this revolution are the advent of reliable techniques in radioisotope studies, ultrasonics and computerized tomographic (CT) scanning. This last modality carries with it specific problems for routine paediatric work and its role in the study of kidney and urinary tract problems is discrete and circumscribed. However, in conjunction with classic radiology, each of these techniques yields information of a different type and so a synthesis of data accrues.

Download or read book Non Invasive Detection of Kidney Abnormalities written by Harsha A and published by Meem Publishers. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of nephrology has witnessed a remarkable transformation with the advent of non-invasive techniques for detecting kidney abnormalities. This revolutionary approach has brought about a paradigm shift in the way we diagnose and manage kidney-related conditions. "Non-Invasive Detection of Kidney Abnormalities" represents a cutting-edge approach that eliminates the need for invasive procedures, ensuring patient comfort while significantly reducing potential risks. Leading the charge are non-invasive imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) scans. These methods provide detailed and accurate assessments of kidney structure and function, enabling medical professionals to identify abnormalities, kidney stones, tumors, and other pathologies without subjecting patients to surgical interventions. Additionally, urine and blood tests complement these imaging techniques, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of kidney health. Early detection lies at the heart of successful kidney disease management. Through non-invasive methods, medical practitioners can identify potential issues at their nascent stages, empowering them to initiate timely interventions and prevent the progression of kidney diseases. This proactive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces the burden on healthcare systems by mitigating the need for costly and invasive treatments in advanced disease stages. Incorporating non-invasive techniques into routine kidney assessments represents a boon for patients, especially those with chronic conditions requiring regular monitoring. By minimizing discomfort and anxiety associated with invasive procedures, these non-destructive approaches foster a positive patient experience and foster greater compliance with recommended follow-up care. Furthermore, the continued advancements in medical imaging technology and diagnostic tools have revolutionized the landscape of nephrology. Innovations in contrast agents, 3D imaging, and image analysis algorithms have enhanced the accuracy and precision of non-invasive kidney assessments, providing medical professionals with a comprehensive understanding of each patient's unique condition. In conclusion, "Non-Invasive Detection of Kidney Abnormalities" stands as a remarkable milestone in the quest for safer, more efficient, and patient-centric kidney care. As this field continues to evolve, the integration of non-invasive techniques into routine clinical practice promises to revolutionize kidney disease management, fostering better patient outcomes and improved overall kidney health.
