Tomografia computerizzata

Noto ai radiologi di tutto il mondo per le sue illustrazioni di elevato livello e per i suoi aspetti pratici, l’Atlante Tascabile di Anatomia Sezionale propone oggi le più recenti novità delle tecnologie di imaging e descrive l’anatomia di base necessaria per interpretare le moderne immagini per sezione. Nella pratica clinica, rappresenta un ideale strumento di lavoro per radiologi e tecnici che operano con la TC e l’RM.Per formulare una diagnosi in base ad immagini per sezioni, anche gli operatori esperti devono adattare il pensiero alla rappresentazione per sezioni degli aspetti anatomici. Il manuale mira a favorire questo processo, presentando le due modalità che rivestono la maggiore importanza pratica nelle attuali tecniche di imaging per sezioni: la tomografia computerizzata e l’imaging di risonanza magnetica.L’importanza di queste modalità si fonda in parte sul loro elevato potere di risoluzione. Un grande numero di immagini è stato prodotto con strumenti a 3-tesla. Le illustrazioni a quattro colori sono state considerate una parte essenziale di questo obiettivo per potere mantenere il livello di chiarezza malgrado la quantità di informazioni.I contenuti dei tre volumi (I: Testa e Collo; II: Torace, Cuore, Addome e Pelvi; e III: Apparato muscoloscheletrico), che costituiscono un tutt’uno, seguono una rigida organizzazione in cui ciascuna immagine di TC o di RM è accompagnata da un diagramma a colori pertinente e da un disegno schematico in scala ridotta che indica il livello della sezione. Questa struttura fornisce il massimo di informazioni nel minimo spazio.

"This book will be useful for all physicians involved in cardiac imaging, whether they are in radiology, nuclear medicine, or cardiology, and should be mandatory for physicians engaged in gated cardiac SPECT. It is recommended without reservation." - from a review of the first edition in Radiology With gated cardiac SPECT now firmly established for the management of the cardiac patient, Drs. Germano and Berman bring you completely up to date with the multiple clinical applications as well as the recent technical developments of the modality. Clinical Gated Cardiac SPECT, Second Edition: * covers all the available protocols * describes a systematic approach for interpretation and reporting * provides guidance for the recognition of artifacts * includes flowcharts on the management of patients The relationship of gated cardiac SPECT to PET, MRI and CT is explored in separate chapters devoted to each modality. This book is essential reading for all clinicians involved in cardiac imaging.

Acquire a thorough understanding of cardiac imaging! "I believe radiologists, cardiologists, and clinicians, as well as trainees, will find The Complete Guide to Cardiac CT to be an indispensible tool for learning the subject matter...It is practical in approach,but is solidly grounded in evidence-based medicinewith a comprehensive review of the literature and timelyreferences. The textbook provides an ideal resource for thecardiac imager and serves as an exceptional reference toolfor understanding the anatomy and disease processes of theheart and coronary circulatory systems."--Theresa C. McLoud, MD, Dept. of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Radiology, Harvard Medical School (from the foreword) Based on the popular review courses of educator and radiologist Dr. Simeon Abramson, The Complete Guide to Cardiac CT is a timely, hands-on learning tool-one that will help you master every important aspect of cardiac CT, from acquisition to interpretation. This unique guide translates complex concepts and topics into understandable, relevant subject matter and includes contributions from international leaders in cardiac CT. Designed for the practical, day-to-day application of cardiac CT, the text also serves as a comprehensive visual resource more than 1000 laser-precise images and illustrations, all of which reflect the latest clinical acumen and cardiac imaging technology. FEATURES Focuses on the recognition, identification, and comprehension of heart and coronary circulatory pathology Valuable to clinicians at any experience level Logical 4-part organization consists of: Technology section that encompasses coronary CT angiography technique, radiation concepts, and successful application of radiation dose reduction tools--plus a detailed review of strategies for overcoming suboptimal examinations, complete with case examples. Coronary Arteries section that thoroughly examines plaque detection and characterization, stenosis assessment, stents and bypass grafts, and assessment of coronary artery anomalies. Beyond the Coronary Arteries details cardiac CT anatomy; myocardial, pericardial and valvular pathology; electrophysiology applications; and congenital heart disease in both pediatric and adult populations. Controversial topics focuses on the utilization of cardiac CT in the acute setting, institution of the triple rule-out protocol, and anatomic versus physiologic imaging with Rubidium PET/CT/ Helpful pedagogy includes numerous tables, diagrams, figures, and illustrations
