Vascular Neurology, Vascular Neurosurgery and Interventional Neuroradiology are independent fields with dedicated Training Programs. Neuroimaging, and in particular what we call Neurovascular Imaging is a unifying factor which can be considered the intersection of these three medical specialties. With this book we aim to cover thoroughly the imaging techniques, potentialities, and present and future applications as applied to all the vascular diseases of the central nervous system from the imaging point of view. This book will comprise eight main sections: (1) The Basics, (2) Arteries of the Head and Neck (3) The basics of Intracranial Arteries (4) Diseases of the vessels (5) Stroke Imaging (6) Veins Imaging (7) Spine Imaging (8) Pediatrics.

This case-based atlas offers concise introductory text and up-to-date images of representative cases of both common and uncommon pediatric diseases. It is useful as both a diagnostic and teaching reference.

This updated edition of the leading text on the imaging of child abuse and its imitators combines radiographic images with pathologic correlates of inflicted injuries. Presented in full color for the first time, it contains many new photomicrographs and clinical images of bone scintigraphy, CT, MRI and sonography. Presenting radiologic findings in clinical, biomechanical and medicolegal contexts, a wealth of new material relating to extremity, thoracic, spinal and intracranial injuries is included. Chapters on intracranial (extra-axial and parenchymal), visceral and miscellaneous injuries, and MRI physics have been revised and expanded, while new chapters cover disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism and an extended discussion of skeletal injury. Complete with technical discussions explaining the physical principles and instrumentation of imaging equipment, this is essential reading for radiologists, pediatricians, forensic pathologists and emergency room physicians. Additionally, it will be of interest to a wide array of legal professionals.

Since radiologists learn by seeing, this book's case-based format is ideal. The 102 cases unknown and 217 supplemental cases throughout depict scenarios commonly encountered in daily practice, with special emphasis on the rapidly growing area of sports injuries and traumatic disorders in older children and adolescents. The cases are heavily illustrated with nearly 600 high-resolution MRI images, as well as complementary plain films, scintigrams, and CT scans. Each case outlines the clinical history, findings, and differential diagnosis. Clinical pearls, questions and answers, and concluding summaries are also included. An orthopedic surgeon provides clinical commentary where appropriate to share the insight gained from sports medicine.

Search Pattern is a collection of step-by-step guides to more than a hundred of the most common types of studies in radiology. Blind spots reported in the literature as well as practical wisdom from experts is synthesized into highly structured processes that can guide the development of better practice. Much of the contained insight has never been organized in one place before. Search Pattern covers almost every type of study that a radiologist will encounter in training or practice. This text is written with the assumption that the reader has familiarity with basic radiologic terminology, anatomy, and physics. In the interest of brevity, almost all information outside of the organized approaches is omitted. The reader is encouraged to look up terms, images, and background information from supplementary resources. Formalized teaching of search patterns is a missing part of the educational literature in our field. Hopefully this book helps fill that void. It is one that I would have benefited from greatly when I was a resident. - Long Tu, YDR Class of 2020

Few graduating residents are ready for the demands of subspecialty neuroradiology. This is in part because there remain gaps in the educational literature prior to fellowship.

Subspecialty practice requires familiarity with exams and procedures that residents rarely encounter. Neuroimaging is frequently both high complexity and high acuity. The beginning of fellowship can therefore present the steepest and highest stakes learning curve encountered during the whole of radiology training.

The goal of this text is to provide a primer for this challenging year. Search patterns, procedure checklists, recommended resources, and tips for efficiency are presented in as accessible a manner as possible.

This book is everything I wish I had known and everything I would pass on to each new trainee. I'm sure it'll be a useful tool on your path to becoming an excellent neuroradiologist and physician.

Diagnostic imaging, also called medical imaging, is the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical intervention. It is also used to visually represent the function of organs and tissues. Diagnostic imaging reveals the internal structures hidden by the skin and the bones using technologies like electromagnetic radiation, ultrasonic waves, radiopharmaceuticals, etc. Other technologies which are used in diagnostic imaging include endoscopy, elastography and thermography. Imaging procedures like computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis is used to detect diseases of the small bowel, colon and other internal organs and is often used to determine the cause of unexplained pain. This book outlines the processes and applications of diagnostic imaging of the abdomen and the pelvis in detail. It traces the progress in this field and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field.

Magnetic resonance is a medical imaging technique which is used for taking detailed pictures of the soft tissues and organs of the body through radio waves and magnets. Unlike X-rays and CT scans, it does not make use of ionizing radiation. Therefore it can be used in cases where exposure to radiation is dangerous. The soft tissues as well as masses, cystic structures, lymph nodes and blood vessels can be seen in detail. The MRI functions by directing radio waves at the molecules of water inside the body, exciting and relaxing the protons in them. This energy from the water molecules is read and a 3-D image is produced which shows the different types of tissue. It can be used for the detection of acute renal failure and chronic kidney disease. It also helps in finding out changes in kidney function which could indicate inflammation or obstruction. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of magnetic resonance imaging and its clinical and experimental applications. It is an upcoming technique in the field of medical science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.

With the rapid development of modern medical technology, endoscopic technology has also achieved unprecedented development. Its fields cover examination, treatment, surgery, and even molecular imaging diagnosis. Endoscopy technology brings a minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment experience to patients. Invasive treatment and examination of digestive surgery has changed from large incisions to several Trocar holes, from surgery to endoscopic treatment, and from laparotomy to endoscopy or laparoscopy, which has changed the diagnosis treatment and management of digestive surgery, enhanced the recovery after surgery, and benefited the patients needing to undergo surgical procedures. It is for this reason that we plan to introduce the development of endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery in digestive surgery and enhanced rehabilitation medicine.

Elastography, the science of creating noninvasive images of mechanical characteristics of tissues, has been rapidly evolving in recent years. The advantage of this technique resides in the ability to rapidly detect and quantify the changes in the stiffness of soft tissues resulting from specific pathological or physiological processes. Ultrasound elastography is nowadays applied especially on the liver and breast, but the technique has been increasingly used for other tissues including the thyroid, lymph nodes, spleen, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, kidney, prostate, and the musculoskeletal and vascular systems. This book presents some of the applications of strain and shear-wave ultrasound elastography in hepatic, pancreatic, breast, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Gynecological imaging encompasses a full range of gynecological technologies for detecting pathologies and conditions of the female reproductive organs. Gynecological conditions are usually diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy. Medical imaging is also vital in infertility investigations, gynecological oncology and diagnosis of Mullerian duct anomalies. Gynecological ultrasonography allows the visualization of the ovaries, the uterus and the fallopian tubes, as well as the adnexa, bladder and the recto-uterine pouch. It also facilitates the diagnosis of gynecologic cancers, assessment of pelvic organs, diagnosis of acute appendicitis, diagnosis and management of endometriosis, leiomyoma, ovarian cysts and lesions, etc. MRI, X-ray CT, projectional radiography and nuclear medicine are employed for investigating pregnancy related complications and intercurrent diseases, or for routine prenatal care. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of gynecological imaging. It strives to provide a fair idea about the diverse gynecological imaging techniques and to help develop a better understanding of their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
