Radiation Dose from Adult and Pediatric Multidetector Computed Tomography by Denis Tack, and Pierre Alain Gevenois Hardcover - 280 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-RAD3 $259.05 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9783540288886

Because of the radiation dose delivered, multidetector row CT (MDCT) may induce cancers, and the risk of death has been estimated at up to one per 1,000 examinations. Despite this, only a small proportion of referring clinicians, radiologists, and technologists are aware of both the radiation risks and their underlying mechanisms. This book is designed to rectify this situation. The first part of the book provides a comprehensive approach to all the factors that influence the radiation dose and subsequently the risk induced by using MDCT in children and adult patients. In the second part, guidelines are proposed for optimization of the radiation dose in order to obtain an image quality sufficient for appropriate diagnostic performance while restricting the dose delivered. This book, written by experts of international standing, will appeal to both general and specialized radiologists, including pediatric radiologists, CT technologists, physicists, manufacturers, and all professionals involved in MDCT.

This is a much-needed work that will be of great interest to a wide variety of practitioners in disciplines related to neonatal neurology, including pediatric radiologists. An exhaustive treatment of a phenomenon that causes family tragedy worldwide, this book fills a major gap in the current literature.

Despite advances in neonatal care, neonatal cerebral injury remains a major cause of morbidity, mortality and disabilities. Cranial ultrasonography provides information on brain maturation in the (preterm) neonate and enables detection of frequently occurring brain anomalies in this patient group.

After the introduction of neonatal MRI, cranial ultrasonography has been relatively neglected. While modern textbooks are available on pathological conditions of the neonatal brain, a recent book showing high quality normal ultrasound images is lacking.

This work deals with the basics of neonatal cranial ultrasonography and can be used as a reference-book providing essential information about the procedure and normal ultrasound anatomy. It contains essential information for physicians and technicians applying neonatal cranial ultrasonography as the most important neuroimaging technique on the neonatal ward. Obstetricians and obstetric ultrasonographists will find detailed information for performing fetal cerebral ultrasonography.

Signs in MR-Mammography by Werner A. Kaiser Hardcover - 390 pages Shipped in CLICK HERE Cat.# DA-RAD20 $234.50 BUY Published:  2007   ISBN:  9783540732921

• First description of specific morphological and kinetic signs in MR-Mammography
• Important for diagnosis of breast lesions
• Based on over 20 years of research and experience
• Richly illustrated, with many examples

Magnetic resonance mammography (MRM) is opening new avenues in the diagnosis of breast cancer. It has been known for over 20 years that MRM can accurately detect breast cancers larger than 3 millimeters. The problem in recent years has been an international debate concerning methods, techniques, and the interpretation of the myriad images. For years, the phrase high sensitivity but low specificity? has been used like a mantra to characterize MRM. But results in recent decades suggest that we can greatly increase this limited specificity by extracting and analyzing all of the morphologic and kinetic signs contained in the 1000-plus images from an MRM examination. In this book we will explore the current known signs in MRM and illustrate them with examples so that, in the future, this information can be applied in the practical interpretation of MR mammograms.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the leading cause of death in women under age 50. It is hoped that when MRM is interpreted as described in this book, it can help to alleviate this major health problem by allowing breast cancers to be detected and treated at a earlier, curable stage.
