The book covers novel strategies of state of the art in engineering
and clinical analysis and approaches for analyzing abdominal
imaging, including lung, mediastinum, pleura, liver, kidney and
gallbladder. In the last years the imaging techniques have
experienced a tremendous improvement in the diagnosis and
characterization of the pathologies that affect abdominal organs.
In particular, the introduction of extremely fast CT scanners and
high Magnetic field MR Systems allow imaging with an exquisite
level of detail the anatomy and pathology of liver, kidney,
pancreas, gallbladder as well as lung and mediastinum. Moreover,
thanks to the development of powerful computer hardware and
advanced mathematical algorithms the quantitative and
automated\semi automated diagnosis of the pathology is becoming a
reality. Medical image analysis plays an essential role in the
medical imaging field, including computer-aided diagnosis,
organ/lesion segmentation, image registration, and image-guided
therapy. This book will cover all the imaging techniques, potential
for applying such imaging clinically, and offer present and future
applications as applied to the abdomen and thoracic imaging with
the most world renowned scientists in these fields. The main aim of
this book is to help advance scientific research within the broad
field of abdominal imaging. This book focuses on major trends and
challenges in this area, and it presents work aimed to identify new
techniques and their use in medical imaging analysis for abdominal
imaging.
Authored by world renowned scientists, this book expertly reviews
all the imaging techniques and exciting new methods for the
analysis of the pain, including novel tracers, biomarker,
metabolomic and gene-array profiling, together with cellular,
genetic, and molecular approaches. Recent advances in human brain
imaging techniques have allowed a better understand of the
functional connectivity in pain pathways, as well as the functional
and anatomical alterations that occur in chronic pain patients.
Modern imaging techniques have permitted rapid progress in the
understanding of networks in the brain related to pain processing
and those related to different types of pain modulation.
Neuroimaging of Pain is designed to be a valuable resource for
radiologists, neuroradiologists, neurologists and neuroscientists,
working in hospitals and universities from junior trainees to
consultants.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in biomedical
imaging and radiology to visualize internal structures of the body.
Because MRI provides excellent contrast between different soft
tissues, the technique is especially useful for diagnostic imaging
of the brain, muscles, and heart. In the past 20 years, MRI
technology has improved significantly with the introduction of
systems up to 7 Tesla (7 T) and with the development of numerous
post-processing algorithms such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),
functional MRI (fMRI), and spectroscopic imaging. From these
developments, the diagnostic potentialities of MRI have improved
impressively with an exceptional spatial resolution and the
possibility of analyzing the morphology and function of several
kinds of pathology. Given these exciting developments, the Magnetic
Resonance Imaging Handbook: Image Principles, Neck, and the Brain
is a timely addition to the growing body of literature in the
field. Covering MRI from fundamentals to practice, this
comprehensive book: Discusses the clinical benefits of diagnosing
human pathologies using MRI Explains the physical principles of MRI
and how to use the technique correctly Highlights each organ's
anatomy and pathological processes with high-quality images
Examines the protocols and potentialities of advanced MRI scanners
such as 7 T systems Includes extensive references at the end of
each chapter to enhance further study Thus, the Magnetic Resonance
Imaging Handbook: Image Principles, Neck, and the Brain provides
radiologists and imaging specialists with a valuable,
state-of-the-art reference on MRI.

Diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases can prove particularly
intimidating to clinicians, because many times the diagnosis cannot
be critically "confirmed" by a simple test. New imaging modalities
have advanced to the point of high resolution, morphological,
metabolic and functional analysis. Computed tomography, magnetic
resonance, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have recently
emerged as outstanding non-invasive techniques for the study of the
neurodegenerative disorders. Imaging in Neurodegenerative Disorders
covers all the imaging techniques and new exciting methods like new
tracers, biomarker, metabolomic and gene-array profiling, potential
for applying such techniques clinically, and offers present and
future applications as applied to the neurodegenerative disorders
with the most world renowned scientists in these fields. This book
is an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and trainees
in neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and radiology.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the world,
resulting mostly from the sudden ruptures of atherosclerosis
carotid plaques. Understanding why and how plaque develops and
ruptures requires a multi-disciplinary approach such as radiology,
biomedical engineering, medical physics, software engineering,
hardware engineering, pathological and histological imaging.
Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging, Diagnosis and Treatment
presents a new dimension of understanding Atherosclerosis in 2D and
3D. This book presents work on plaque stress analysis in order to
provide a general framework of computational modeling with
atherosclerosis plaques. New algorithms based on 3D and 4D
Ultrasound are presented to assess the atherosclerotic disease as
well as very recent advances in plaque multimodality image fusion
analysis. The goal of Multi-Modality Atherosclerosis Imaging,
Diagnosis and Treatment is to fuse information obtained from
different 3D medical image modalities, such as 3D US, CT and MRI,
providing the medical doctor with some sort of augmented reality
information about the atherosclerotic plaque in order to improve
the accuracy of the diagnosis. Analysis of the plaque dynamics
along the cardiac cycle is also a valuable indicator for plaque
instability assessment and therefore for risk stratification. 4D
Ultrasound, a sequence of 3D reconstructions of the region of
interest along the time, can be used for this dynamic analysis.
Multimodality Image Fusion is a very appealing approach because it
puts together the best characteristics of each modality, such as,
the high temporal resolution of US and the high spatial resolutions
of MRI and CT.
