PET
Physics, Instrumentation, and Scanners
Michael E. Phelps
editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 140
This book is designed to give the reader a solid understanding of the physics and instrumentation aspects of PET, including how PET data are collected and formed into an image. Topics include basic physics, detector technology used in modern PET scanners, data acquisition, and 3D reconstruction. A variety of modern PET imaging systems are also discussed, including those designed for clinical services and research, as well as small-animal imaging.

Pediatric PET Imaging
Martin Charron
editore: Springer Verlag New York Inc.
pagine: 599
Positron emission tomography (PET) has been at the forefront of fu- tional and molecular imaging for a number of years. The future of di- nostic imaging depends upon the ability to change from imaging anatomy to examining the processes at work in the body. The fact that there are now monographs examining particular aspects of PET, such as this book on the examination of children, speaks to the newly won maturity of PET. The authors are to be congratulated for the timely appearance of this volume. In recent years, PET has transformed the contributions of nuclear medicine to the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of patients with cancer. Children with cancer deserve the very best and most comp- sionate care that society can provide. Ultimately the greatest comp- sion we can offer as physicians is to provide the best possible care. Those charged with creating public policy in the context of diagnostic medicine must make common cause with physicians and other sci- tists to ensure that that best possible care is realized at the bedside. All of the evidence suggests that PET is central to such optimal cancer care.
In addition to the distinguished cast of physicians and researchers who contributed to this book, I welcome the contributions from te- nologists who are a key part of the interaction between the diagnostic process and the sick or potentially sick child. Good care is contingent upon putting parents and child at ease, and the technologist has a lead role in this.

editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 320
This book will help the reader confused by a multiplicity of diseases responsible for similar symptoms in different patients. The chapters are noticeably sign-oriented rather than disease-oriented, each dealing with one of the four cardinal modalities of HRCT presentation. Each chapter is introduced by a list of diseases, immediately followed by a detailed description of each disease, and the chapters are illustrated with enlarged images giving rhythm to the written text.

Multidetector-Row CT of the Thorax
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 498
With the advent of multidetector-row technology, excitement has returned to computed tomography. It is now possible to image faster and with better resolution than ever before; more importantly, the development of sophisticated image acquisition techniques has permitted the use of CT imaging in areas previously thought to lie beyond its scope. The knowledge, experience, and vision of a host of renowned international experts in cutting-edge thoracic applications of multidetector-row CT are condensed within this book. The result is a critical, comprehensive review of the novel opportunities, but also the new challenges, brought about by the development of ever-faster CT acquisition techniques.

pagine: 472
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), one of the most important developments in radiation oncology in the past 25 years, involves technology to deliver radiation to tumors in the right location, quantity and time. Unavoidable irradiation of surrounding normal tissues is distributed so as to preserve their function. The achievements and future directions in the field are grouped in the three sections of the book, each suitable for supporting a teaching course. Part 1 contains topical reviews of the basic principles of IMRT, part 2 describes advanced techniques such as image-guided and biologically based approaches, and part 3 focuses on investigation of IMRT to improve outcome at various cancer sites.

Colografia Virtuale Con Tc Multistrato (CTC)
Andrea Caprotti
editore: Springer Verlag
pagine: 132
Con la diffusione delle TC Multidetettore la colografia virtuale (CTC) si sta affermando come nuova, affidabile metodica radiologica alternativa nella diagnosi della poliposi intestinale e dei tumori del colon-retto. La CTC gi oggi da considerarsi l'esame di prima scelta nella identificazione di lesioni tumorali sincrone in pazienti affetti da neoplasie del colon-retto non valicabili dall'endoscopio, fornendo simultaneamente una corretta stadiazione di malattia con evidenti benefici per la pianificazione terapeutica. La scarsa invasivit rende la CTC una valida alternativa alla pancolonscopia anche nella ricerca dei polipi intestinali e costituisce la base per interessanti sviluppi in merito a future applicazioni a programmi di screening. Nel testo, rivolto ai radiologi che si avvicinano alla metodica, ai tecnici di radiologia ed ai medici coinvolti nell'iter diagnostico e terapeutico della patologia colo-rettale, vengono indicati i vantaggi della metodica, le sue indicazioni e la tecnica di esecuzione dell'esame con quadri iconografici dimostrativi di condizioni normali e patologiche. Seguono capitoli integrativi a carattere epidemiologico, chirurgico, anatomo-patologico e terapeutico affidati a collaboratori delle diverse branche specialistiche. Le conclusioni sono affidate al giudizio dell'endoscopista, insostituibile "alleato" ai fini del pi corretto utilizzo clinico della CTC se intesa come non competitiva ma complementare ed integrativa della colonscopia tradizionale.
