This text covers everything from the basic x-ray photon
interactions of CT to scheduling patients and properly organizing
and displaying protocols. After reading this book, radiologists
should have enough confidence to suggest changes to their CT
protocol optimization teams. Likewise, non-radiology practitioners
who use CT as part of their practice (e.g., radiation therapy
physicist/ oncologists, cardiologists, dentists, surgeons,
researchers, etc.) will find this text useful in getting better
image quality from their equipment. This text doesn’t shy away
from comparing features from different vendors. Providing
vendor-specific information allows one to gain real-world insight
into MDCT scanner reconstruction and AEC operation.
The Oxford Clinical Imaging Guides are specifically designed to
help doctors master imaging techniques. Each guide explains the
principles and practice of using imaging in an easy-to-read,
highly-illustrated, and authoritative manner. Point of Care
Ultrasound for Emergency Medicine and Resuscitation is the
definitive guide to using this indispensable clinical tool quickly,
safely, and accurately to diagnose patients in emergency, acute,
and critical care settings. With a practical focus on how to
perform ultrasound and interpret images, this book demonstrates how
the reader can use ultrasound safely in patient management to
diagnose and manage shock, acute presentations, or the acute phases
of key conditions. Extensively illustrated, this resource also
comes with online access to 160 ultrasound clips and over 130
annotated ultrasound images. Written by expert educators, this book
is mapped to the curriculum for the International Federation for
Emergency Medicine to teach emergency and acute medics exactly what
they need to know. This guide is highly relevant for the syllabi of
Emergency Medicine colleges and associations in the USA, Canada,
UK, Australasia and South Africa.
This book will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art
image-guidance techniques employed in radiation therapy. It will be
beneficial to medical physicists at different stages in their
careers who would like to know about current image guidance
techniques and modalities, including non-ionizing-radiation ones.
Neuroimaging plays a central role in the initial diagnosis and
subsequent monitoring of multimodal therapies offered to patients
with glioblastoma the most malignant type of brain cancer. The
authors present a comprehensive description of current
state-of-the-art clinical neuroimaging for glioblastoma. They cover
the basic concepts and most recent applications of clinical
structural neuroimaging, as well as the latest innovations and
up-and-coming techniques for functional imaging of glioblastoma
patients.Few comprehensive books are available in this challenging
field of clinical medicine. The co-editors are experienced academic
neuroradiologists with an active interest in clinical imaging and
research of glioblastoma, all within a vibrant clinical environment
at Stanford University where the latest innovations in glioblastoma
imaging and treatment are being developed. In compiling this book,
the co-editors have called upon many of the worlds best clinical
and basic neuroscientists specializing in the management of
patients with this malignancy, for their expert input on the latest
imaging developments and applicable research into glioblastoma.This
book is intended for neuroradiologists, neuro-oncologists,
neurosurgeons, radiation therapists, and other physicians and
scientists engaged in the study and clinical management of patients
with glioblastoma. It should also serve as a unique educational and
research resource for students and more experienced practitioners
alike within this rapidly evolving field.
Important pediatric radiology cases and board-type Q&A review
to help you pass your exam! Pediatric radiology provides an
opportunity to care for perhaps the most vulnerable patients of
all, from prenatal life through adolescence. Pediatric Imaging,
Second Edition by Richard Gunderman and Lisa Delaney features 100
new cases along with two board-type multiple-choice questions for
each. A wide spectrum of cases focusing on radiology in children -
from basic to advanced - are strategically designed to increase a
resident's knowledge and provide robust exam preparation. For
maximum ease of self-assessment, each case begins with the clinical
presentation on the right-hand page; study that and then turn the
page for imaging findings, differential diagnoses with the
definitive diagnosis, essential facts, pearls and pitfalls, and
more. Key Highlights Multiple images for every case demonstrate how
a condition appears in different modalities Easy-to-read bulleted
formatting and concise, point-by-point presentation of the
Essential Facts enables learning and retention of high-yield facts
and skill-building in radiologic diagnosis Online access to
additional cases enables residents to arrange study sessions,
quickly extract and master information, and prepare for theme-based
radiology conferences Thieme's RadCases means cases selected to
simulate what you will see on your exams, rounds, and rotations.
RadCases helps you to identify the correct differential diagnosis
for each case, including the most critical. The series
comprehensively covers the following specialties: Breast Imaging *
Cardiac Imaging * Emergency Imaging * Gastrointestinal Imaging *
Genitourinary Imaging * Head and Neck Imaging * Interventional
Radiology * Musculoskeletal Radiology * Neuro Imaging * Nuclear
Medicine * Pediatric Imaging * Thoracic Imaging * Ultrasound
Imaging Each RadCases second edition has a code allowing you one
year of access to Thieme's online database of 350 cases: the 100
cases in this book plus 250 cases more. Master your cases, pass
your exams, and diagnose with confidence: RadCases!
When a radiological image includes unfamiliar features, how do you
decide whether it is normal variation or pathological abnormality?
If you decide an abnormality is present, can you make a diagnosis
from the image alone? Pearls and Pitfalls in Musculoskeletal
Imaging differentiates less common findings or normal variant
mimickers from the more common similar appearing diseases, helping
you make a quick and accurate diagnosis. Musculoskeletal disorders
of the shoulder, upper extremity, pelvis, and lower extremity are
described in over 90 cases, highly illustrated with over 300
radiographic, CT, MRI and ultrasound images. Each case follows a
standard format: imaging description, importance, typical clinical
scenario, differential diagnosis and teaching point, enabling you
to locate key information quickly. Pearls and Pitfalls in
Musculoskeletal Imaging will help you spot artifacts, mimics and
other unusual conditions, enabling you to avoid misdiagnosis and
prevent mismanagement. An essential diagnostic tool for
radiologists at every level.
Ultrasound imaging technology has experienced a dramatic change in
the last 30 years. Because of its non-invasive nature and
continuing improvements in image quality, ultrasound imaging is
progressively achieving an important role in the assessment and
characterization of cardiovascular imaging. Speckle is inherent in
ultrasound imaging giving rise to a granular appearance instead of
homogeneous, flat shades of gray, as is visible and as such,
speckle can severely compromise interpretation of ultrasound
images, particularly in discrimination of small structures. On the
other hand, speckle can be used in the detection of time varying
phenomena, or tracking tissue motion. The objective of this book is
to provide a reference edited volume covering the whole spectrum of
speckle phenomena, theoretical background and modelling, algorithms
and selected applications in cardiovascular ultrasound imaging and
video processing and analysis. The book is organized under the
following four parts, Part I: Introduction to Speckle Noise; Part
II: Speckle Filtering; Part III: Speckle Tracking; Part IV:
Selected Applications in Cardiovascular Imaging.
