Musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology is a radiological subspecialty that
has expanded its knowledge base and imaging capabilities with the
advent of MRI, multi/detector CT, ult- sound, and PET. Prior to the
advent of MRI, MSK radiologists used plain flm X-rays and
arthrograms as their primary tools. The subspecialty has progressed
from primary im- ing of osseous structures and indirect imaging of
joint spaces, to direct imaging of soft tissue structures with
direct visualization and fne defnition of MSK structures. A
specialized MSK radiologist requires a sound knowledge of anatomy,
pathophysi- ogy, orthopedic surgical techniques, and advancements
in imaging modalities. MSK im- ing involves all aspects about
anatomy, function, disease states, and aspects of interventional
radiology appertaining to the MSK system including imaging in
orthopedics, trauma, rheumatology, metabolic and endocrine
diseases, as well as aspects of pediatrics, oncology, and sports
imaging. Subspecialty training in MSK radiology must ensure
competence to obtain experience in the following techniques: plain
radiography, ultrasonography, CT, MRI, nuclear me- cine, bone
densitometry, and fuoroscopic procedures including arthrography.
MSK ra- ologists must be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of
the different imaging methods in each pathological condition and
choose the appropriate imaging technique and/or the appropriate
sequence in the investigation of specifc clinical problems.
This book covers the cross-sectional imaging of congenital heart
diseases, and features a wealth of relevant CT and MRI images.
Important details concerning anatomy, physiology, embryology and
management options are discussed, and the key technical aspects of
performing the imaging are explained step by step. Written by a
team of respected authors, the book is richly illustrated and
supplemented with access to a number of clinical videos. Intended
to provide quick and reliable access to high-quality MRI and CT
images of frequently encountered congenital and structural heart
abnormalities, the book offers a go-to guide for imaging
physicians, helping them overcome the steep learning curve for
pediatric cardiac imaging.
While conventional magnetic resonance, X-ray-based, ultrasound, and
nuclear medicine techniques are widely used to facilitate
diagnosis, inform therapeutic decision-making, provide information
regarding prognosis, and monitor therapeutic response in neurologic
diseases, their practical value in acute clinical care is not as
yet well-defined and the potential future development is not fully
appreciated. This book provides a comprehensive survey of best
practice for specialists and trainees in neurology, emergency
medicine, neuroradiology, radiology, neurosurgery, and critical
care. The symptom-based approach guides the choice of the available
imaging tools for efficient, accurate, and cost-effective diagnosis
to support immediate management of common and complex neurological
disorders in the acute setting. Effective examination algorithms
are included that integrate neurological and imaging concepts with
the practical demands and constraints of emergency care. Written by
leading international authorities, the book is extensively
illustrated and contains many helpful case-histories.
In vivo magnetic resonance spectrosopy (MRS) is increasingly being
used in the clinical setting, particularly for neurological
disorders. Clinical MR Spectroscopy - Techniques and Applications
explains both the underlying physical principles of MRS and
provides a perceptive review of clinical MRS applications. Topics
covered include an introduction to MRS physics, information content
of spectra from different organ systems, spectral analysis methods,
recommended protocols and localization techniques, and normal age-
and region-related spectral variations in the brain. Clinical
applications in the brain are discussed for brain tumors, hypoxic
and ischemic injury, infectious, inflammatory and demyelinating
diseases, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, trauma and
metabolic diseases. Outside of the brain, techniques and
applications are discussed for MRS in the musculosketal system,
breast and prostate. Written by leading MRS experts, this is an
invaluable guide for anyone interested in in vivo MRS, including
radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists and medical
researchers.

The book provides updated knowledge on cerebrovascular
imaging-related anatomy and topographic maps for neurologists,
neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, and neurovascular researchers as
well as medical or neuroscience students. It includes not only
high-resolution cerebrovascular images but also topographic brain
maps.The topographic brain maps will provide (a) 'recently-updated'
knowledge on cerebrovascular territories, which are of key clinical
importance in patients with stroke; (b) age-specific WMH maps that
allows a 'tailored patient-specific' interpretation in stroke- and
vascular dementia-related clinical practice; and (c) easy-to-use
'reference maps' that allow prompt and reliable visual estimation
of cerebral infarct volumes. This pocket book will serve as the
best format for these image datasets to be looked up and referenced
by the vast majority of readers.Apart from being a handy reference
for neurovascular or neuroscience researchers, this book can also
be used as a supplementary text book in medical schools.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Computational
and Clinical Applications in Abdominal Imaging, held in conjunction
with MICCAI 2011, in Toronto, Canada, on September 18, 2011. The 33
revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected
from 40 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections
on virtual colonoscopy and CAD, abdominal intervention, and
computational abdominal anatomy.
