The practical approach adopted by the authors, combined with the wealth of high-quality illustrations, ensure that this book will be of great value to practitioners.
Download or read book Contrast Enhanced MRI of the Breast written by Sylvia Heywang-Köbrunner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-10-08 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of Contrast-Enhanced MRI of the Breast was published in 1990, further progress has been made in the field and interest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as an additional tool in the diagnosis of breast disease has increased. However, further questions have arisen concerning the best choice of technique, the most appropriate way to interpret MR images, and the role which MRI might play in the work-up of breast disease. In this edition we give an overview of the latest technical possibilities and present knowledge, which today is based on a much greater range of experience gained by various excellent research groups. It is our aim to help the interested reader in choosing an appropriate technique and in finding those applications which promise the greatest benefit for the patient. The particular advantages and limitations of MRI have been pointed out and the currently known capabilities and still existing limitations of other imaging modalities, including transcutaneous biopsy, discussed. Finally, a chapter concerning the use of MRI in the diagnosis of implant failure, a new situation, has been added. Acknowledgements. Since the first edition was published, much further work and research has been necessary. This would not have been possible without the continuous support of many colleagues, coworkers, and advisors.

Download or read book Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging written by Dow-Mu Koh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a great privilege to introduce this book devoted to the current and future roles in research and clinical practice of another exciting new development in MRI: Diffusi- weighted MR imaging. This new, quick and non-invasive technique, which requires no contrast media or i- izing radiation, offers great potential for the detection and characterization of disease in the body as well as for the assessment of tumour response to therapy. Indeed, whereas DW-MRI is already ? rmly established for the study of the brain, progress in MR techn- ogy has only recently enabled its successful application in the body. Although the main focus of this book is on the role of DW-MRI in patients with malignant tumours, n- oncological emerging applications in other conditions are also discussed. The editors of this volume, Dr. D. M. Koh and Prof. H. Thoeny, are internationally well known for their pioneering work in the ? eld and their original contributions to the l- erature on DW-MRI of the body. I am very much indebted to them for the enthusiasm and engagement with which they prepared and edited this splendid volume in a record short time for our series Medical Radiology – Diagnostic section.
Download or read book Contrast Enhanced Mammography written by Marc Lobbes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), a novel advanced mammography technique using dual-energy mammography in combination with intravenous contrast administration in order to increase the diagnostic performance of digital mammography. Readers will find helpful information on the principles of CEM and indications for the technique. Detailed attention is devoted to image interpretation, with presentation of case examples and highlighting of pitfalls and artifacts. Other topics to be addressed include the establishment of a CEM program, the comparative merits of CEM and MRI, and the roles of CEM in screening populations and monitoring of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CEM became commercially available in 2011 and is increasingly being used in clinical practice owing to its superiority over full-field digital mammography. This book will be an ideal source of knowledge and guidance for all who wish to start using the technique or to learn more about it.
Download or read book Fundamentals in Oncologic Ultrasound written by Orlando Catalano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-19 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a remarkable observation that human creativity can be fostered by spectacular scenery, itself usually the result of tectonic activity which raises mountains of beauty but carries the sting of earthquakes and eruptions. Think of Silicon Valley in Ca- fornia or of the Tokyo-Kyoto corridor in Eastern Japan. Another is the glorious Amalfi coast around Naples, where the authors of this new textbook work in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. Is it the beauty that inspires or the tension of knowing that one’s life may be shattered at any moment if a volcanic or tectonic disaster strikes? Whatever the explanation, these authors’ passion for their subject shines through and their work carries not only their enthusiasm but also a rare beauty in its construction/format, for it is a joy to hold and behold with its beautiful all-colour printing and abundant illustrations of excellent quality, mainly, of course, ultrasound images but also corresponding CT scans and numerous elegant diagrams. But, is there a need for a textbook on ultrasound in oncology? Doesn’t everyone accept that CT or PET/CT (and sometimes MR) have nailed the problem of oncologic imaging? Well, while CT is undoubtedly the core imaging technique for the det- tion, staging, treatment planning and follow-up of tumours, there remain many app- cations for modern ultrasound, as readers of this textbook will be persuaded.
Download or read book Diffusion MRI Methods for Improved Treatment Monitoring in Breast Cancer written by Sheye Aliu and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As of the time of this writing, the gold standard for monitoring primary breast tumor response to chemotherapy treatment is clinical examination based on palpable changes in tumor size. This method is non-quantitative, highly subjective and generally imposes that treatment is completed before efficacy can be assessed, defeating the purpose of monitoring and eliminating the prospect of adaptive treatment. MRI methods including tissue enhancement kinetics are increasingly used to provide improved monitoring of treatment response in breast and other cancers. In this work, I investigate the added value of diffusion weighted imaging, an MRI technique, for treatment monitoring in breast cancer. This investigation was first conducted in a thoroughly characterized animal model of breast cancer and subsequently in breast cancer patients. I furthered this work by exploring the potential benefit of diffusion tensor imaging, an MRI technique relatively novel to breast imaging, for breast cancer treatment monitoring. To achieve this, I developed a facile MRI protocol which was also used to study the effect of modulating diffusion time on diffusion measurements. I found that diffusion weighted imaging parameters were sensitive to treatment induced changes both in an animal model of breast cancer and in breast cancer patients. Diffusion tensor imaging parameters were able to distinguish normal breast tissue from breast cancer but modulating the diffusion time did not result in any significant changes in diffusion measurements.
