Download or read book Imaging Diagnostics in Cancer A Clinical Guide written by Nadia Lilley and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical imaging is a process of imaging the internal view of the human body for medical intervention and clinical analysis. It depicts the internal structure of the body, which is covered by the skin. It helps in the identification of abnormalities for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of a disease. Medical imaging includes technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging, radiology, ultrasound, radiography, medical photography, elastography, thermography, computed tomography and mammography. Imaging diagnostics are used for detecting cancer and its management in all the phases. Medical imaging is a significant part of clinical protocols related with cancer and it helps in furnishing functional, structural, metabolic, and morphological information. In combination with other diagnostic tools like in vitro fluids and tissue analysis, medical imaging helps in undertaking clinical decisions. Cancer can be detected in the early stages through imaging based on screening, which has substantially decreased the mortality in certain cancers. This book unravels the recent studies on diagnostic imaging and its applications in cancer. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.

Download or read book Therapy Response Imaging in Oncology written by Mizuki Nishino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a detailed guide to therapy response imaging in cancer patients that fully takes into account the revolutionary progress and paradigm shift in treatment approaches for advanced disease. The opening chapters describe the role of imaging as a “common language” for tumor response evaluation in oncology and address challenges and strategies in the era of precision cancer therapy and cancer immunotherapy. Practical pitfalls are discussed, with emphasis on the importance of approaching cancer as a systemic disease and the need for increased awareness of drug toxicity due to novel therapies. Therapy response imaging in a wide range of cancer types is then comprehensively described and illustrated, using a disease-specific approach. A concluding section focuses on emerging approaches and future directions, including radiomics/radiogenomics, co-clinical imaging, and molecular and functional imaging. Therapy Response Imaging in Oncology will be of high value for radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and oncologists. It will also be of interest to cancer care providers and oncology trial investigators.

Book excerpt: This book systematically summarizes classic imaging signs' characteristics and theory for whole body imaging, serving as a clinical guide for the understanding, prevention, and diagnosis of miscellaneous entities. In recent years, with the rapid evolution of modern imaging modalities, radiology has secured an irreplaceable role in diagnosis within standard clinical practice and being familiar with radiological signs has become essential. The book provides a multimodality review of more than 300 commonly utilized radiologic signs in radiography, CT, MRI, US, angiography, and nuclear medicine, including PET-CT. It is designed to enhance recognition of specific imaging patterns and enable the image interpreter to confidently reach an accurate diagnosis. Divided into ten chapters dedicated to different anatomic areas, each sign includes detailed discussion that explains the history and meaning of the descriptive or metaphoric sign, alongside illustrative photos for memory aid and clarification. Uniquely written from a practical point of view, each case leads you through a radiology expert’s thought process in analyzing the classic signs with considerations of common misinterpretations and imaging pitfalls. The cases then highlight clinical presentation, relevant pathology, anatomy, physiology, and pertinent imaging features of common disease processes. Key information is distilled into succinct, bulleted points with detailed illustrations and images. This book is an ideal reference and review for practicing radiologists, as well as trainees preparing for licensing examinations.

Book excerpt: Written by radiologists but for clinicians, and meant for consultation in the "heat of battle" (the busy-sometimes hectic-clinical setting), this one-of-a-kind little book guides you through the most cost-effective and direct imaging route to a diagnosis. Unlike all other books by radiologists, it does not try to teach image interpretation. Rather, covering 65 common clinical problems, from GI bleed, to Pulmonary Embolus, to Myocardial Ischemia, to Stroke, The Clinicians's Guide incorporates all available technologies-Multi-detector CT, MR, CT angiography, MR angiography, PET, and combined PET/CT- to help clinicians get the answers they need. Highlights the relative cost with dollar signs of each imaging test or imaging-guided procedure! (Not available in any other text). Explains in clear, cogent language the step-by-step logic behind the imaging sequence for each problem, yet avoids maddening "flow charts". Each problem-oriented chapter stands alone, for quick and concise guidance in choosing the appropriate test, obviating the need to flip back and forth when there is little time. Incorporates the newest imaging modalities that have drastically changed the work-up for many clinical conditions. Covers the most controversial topics, like CT screening of the healthy population, the value of combined PET/CT scanners, and the place of "virtual" colonoscopy.
