Risonanza magnetica

The daily analysis of whole-body MRI datasets uncovers many incidental findings, which are discussed by an interdisciplinary advisory board of physicians. This book provides a systematic overview of these incidental findings with the aid of approximately 240 high-quality images. The radiologists involved in the project have written chapters on each organ system, presenting a structured compilation of the most common findings, their morphologic appearances on whole-body MRI, and guidance on their clinical management. Chapters on technical and ethical issues are also included. It is hoped that this book will assist other diagnosticians in deciding how to handle the most common incidental findings encountered when performing whole-body MRI.

MRI Essentials for the Spine Specialist is a comprehensive textbook that details the complex MRI anatomy of the spine and the spectrum of pathological findings in patients with spinal disorders.

Now in its Third Edition, this trusted and practical volume in LWW's Teaching File Series offers residents and practicing radiologists a unique opportunity to study alongside the experts in their field. For the first time, CT and MRI of the Abdomen and Pelvis is a hybrid publication, with a new paperback format and accompanying web content that includes a wealth of case studies users can access from their laptop, tablet, or mobile device. The book is useful both as a quick consult or study aid for anyone preparing for Board examinations in Radiology and other specialties where knowledge of CT and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis are required. This skill-builder delivers: 413 structured case studies based on actual patients - each providing a brief patient history, as many as four CT/MR images, a short description of the findings, differential diagnosis, final diagnosis, and a discussion of the case; detailed imaging of all areas of the abdomen and pelvis-including the liver and biliary system, pancreas, GI tract, spleen, mesentery/omentum/peritoneum, kidney and urinary system, retroperitoneum and adrenal glands, and abdominal wall-helps readers understand relevant anatomy and identify pathologies. New to the Third Edition: accompanying web site delivers access to the 150 cases from the print edition, plus 263 "bonus" cases for a total of 413 cases!; 30 per cent new cases address new challenges and provide timely information.

Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI is designed as an accessible primer for teaching functional anatomy and imaging essentials to practicing neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and imaging scientists interested in designing, acquiring, and interpreting functional MRI studies for scientific and clinical purposes. The book includes background in related MRI physics, sequence configuration, and image processing strategies needed to establish a functional imaging service. It is an emphasis of the book is an authoritative treatment of functional brain anatomy, including regional cortical anatomy, brain network anatomy, and functional anatomy of core cognitive functions such as language, motor, vision, memory, attention, and social brain function. The book also contains detailed portraits of more than 20 common fMRI paradigms, with instructions for implementation and sample activation maps expected from each paradigm. SI: functional MRI will serve as a resource for physicians interested in establishing a clinical functional brain imaging service, with information on MRI image artifacts, workflow, and billing issues in functional neuroimaging, open source and commercial software platforms for analysis, and numerous sample cases as a guide to image interpretation. Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI is unique in its primary focus on functional brain anatomy, quick reference style for learning functional anatomy, and ability to lead neuroradiologists efficiently through the steps required to set up a clinical functional imaging service.
