"Coronary Artery CTA: A Case-Based Atlas" presents the reader with a review of a broad range of cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) cases from the teaching file of Dr. Claudio Smuclovisky. Each case consists of extensive CCTA images, a brief history, diagnosis, discussion, and pearls and pitfalls. The goal of the book is to provide the reader with a broad range of CCTA cases that include normal anatomy, congenital coronary anomalies, coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, postsurgical coronary revascularization, and extra-coronary abnormalities. Dr. Smuclovisky is the Director of the South Florida Medical Imaging Cardiovascular Institute in Boca Raton, Florida, which has achieved the successful integration of radiology, cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery. Close collaboration among specialties has been the major cause of their success in achieving CCTA reports that are clinically relevant and cost effective, and their results are presented here. The discussions and pearls and pitfalls are designed to help practicing radiologists, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons understand the current issues of clinical, intervention, and surgical patient management of coronary artery CTA.

PET-CT imaging is a powerful tool in diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Its application as a prognostic tool in various malignancies is well established. This volume encompasses the latest trends and developments of PET-CT imaging in non-neoplastic disease along with its application in clinical decision-making. This volume will be of interest to internal medicine specialists and subspecialists, as well as neurologists, psychiatrists, general radiologists and Nuclear Medicine physicians. Topics include: PET myocardial perfusion imaging as an accurate and non-invasive means in the evaluation of ischemia and the assessment of myocardial viability as well as the potential for myocardial blood flow quantification The use of PET imaging in the early diagnosis and timely intervention in potentially devastating dementias The utility of PET imaging in the diagnosis of a variety of inflammatory diseases such as lupus and myositis NOTE: Annals volumes are available for sale as individual books or as a journal.

Rapid progress in the technique and practice of virtual colonoscopy as well as the conti- ing clinical high interest for this radiodiagnostic procedure made this second edition, only 3 years after the publication of the ? rst edition of this successful volume, necessary. This new edition includes the latest study results and technical developments of this exciting noninvasive diagnostic modality for the evaluation of the colon. The technical presentation and lay out of the text and of the many new illustrations are impeccable. The editors were again able to ensure the collaboration of many international leaders in the ? eld and the book offers a very comprehensive overview of all aspects and issues of CT colonography with a focus on how to perform practically this examination, which requires meticulous technique starting from rigorous preparation, then the conduct of the study itself, and ? nally the interpretation of the results. I am very much indebted to the editors and the collaborating authors for preparing this outstanding volume in a record short time period, which enabled them to include the latest technical advances in this rapidly evolving important radiological method. It is highly recommended to general and gastrointestinal radiologists as well as gast- eneterologists as a most welcome update of their knowledge and as a practical guide in their daily practice. I am convinced that this second edition will meet the same success with our readership as the ? rst one.

"Cardiovascular Imaging Review" - a title in "The Cardiovascular Imaging Handbook" Series - is a comprehensive source for a quick review of commonly tested images. Dr. Nancy K. Koster combines everything you need to know for the cardiovascular subspecialty boards into one volume so you don't have to spend time thumbing through multiple books. Carefully selected, high-quality images - many in full color - depict the most important and representative images in electrocardiography, echocardiography, angiography, CT, and MR imaging. With online access to the text, a downloadable image library, and moving images online, this resource serves as a complete review of cardiovascular imaging.

Oncological imaging has thoroughly changed in the past decade, especially due to the introduction of PET and 18FDG. In Positron Emission Tomography, expert referring specialists and professional imagers seek to help bridge some of the knowledge gaps in several oncological domains. The book's goal is to aid in the improvement of communicative competences: to communicate scan findings so that the referring specialist receives proper advice from the imager, and that, alternatively, the referring one provides the imager with appropriate clinical details to allow for a proper interpretation, and that the referring specialist is aware of the possibilities and limitations of the requested technology. While it focuses on FDG PET, other radiopharmaceuticals are covered as well, where appropriate. Written for the highly respected Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series, this volume provides the kind of detailed description and implementation advice that is crucial for getting optimal results. Authoritative and convenient, Positron Emission Tomography serves as an excellent reference for oncologists, surgeons, radiotherapists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and pathologists desiring a stronger synergy within their vital efforts.

Il testo "Tecniche di tomografia computerizzata e di risonanza magnetica" di Luigi Cei, edito da SEU Società Editrice Universo, è alla sua seconda edizione e offre a tutti i professionisti del settore uno strumento didattico e di aggiornamento completo. Come si legge nella prefazione al libro: "(Oggi) il Tecnico Sanitario Radiologia Medica assume un ruolo diverso dalla semplice produzione di immagini diagnostiche, un ruolo di tecnico informatico capace di interagire con le apparecchiature diagnostiche non solo al momento della produzione delle immagini ma, soprattutto, nella loro manipolazione a fini diagnostici, fornendo al medico Specialista un prodotto finito, di alta qualità ed immediatamente fruibile." Partendo da questo presupposto il volume offre le competenze indispensabili al moderno TSRM. "Tecniche di tomografia computerizzata e di risonanza magnetica" si compone di 37 capitoli e partendo dai principi della Tomografia Computerizzata (TM) giunge alla trattazione della sicurezza in Risonanza Magnetica (RM). Per ogni capitolo, inoltre, il professor Cei si è avvalso di autorevoli collaboratori. Questo libro è cercato anche come: Tecniche di tomografia computerizzata e di risonanza magnetica Luigi Cei

CT is an accurate technique for assessing cardiac structure and function, but advances in computing power and scanning technology have resulted in increased popularity. It is useful in evaluating the myocardium, coronary arteries, pulmonary veins, thoracic aorta, pericardium, and cardiac masses; because of this and the speed at which scans can be performed, CT is even more attractive as a cost-effective and integral part of patient evaluation. This book collates all the current knowledge of cardiac CT and presents it in a clinically relevant and practical format appropriate for both cardiologists and radiologists. The images have been supplied by an experienced set of contributing authors and represent the full spectrum of cardiac CT. As increasing numbers have access to cardiac CT scanners, this book provides all the relevant information on this modality. This is an extensive update of the previous edition bringing the reader up-to-date with the immense amount of updated content in the discipline.
