A comprehensive textbook detailing the fundamental principles and practical applications of physics relevant to the field of radiology and diagnostic imaging.
An edited volume focusing on the assessment of radiation dose, clinical benefit, and associated risks across various modalities and procedures utilized in medical imaging.
Intended for professionals needing more than superficial knowledge of emerging MRI techniques. It starts with the mathematical basis required to understand magnetic resonance physics, followed by basic concepts of MRI and conventional MRI techniques.
A detailed summary of guidelines for managing patients exposed to potential nuclear or radiological incidents. It outlines four major types of resulting injuries (blast, thermal, radiation, psychological), crucial safety protocols for medical personnel (ALARA principle: Time, Distance, Shielding; PPE usage), and control zone creation (Hot, Warm, Cold Zones). The core of the guideline covers a comprehensive triage system (Red, Yellow, Green, Black) based on trauma severity, burn extent, estimated dose, and symptoms of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). Initial decontamination procedures are also detailed.
This book offers a comprehensive treatment of medical imaging techniques commonly referred to as Computed Tomography (CT) that rely on X-rays. It emphasizes the reconstruction of images from projections, serving as a resource for academics, students, and technicians involved with biomedical engineering, as well as doctors and medical technicians concerned with medical imaging.
This book provides an overview of X-ray technology, the historic developmental milestones of modern CT systems, and comprehensive insight into the main reconstruction methods used in computed tomography. It covers foundational physics, including photon statistics, X-ray generation, and signal processing, with a detailed focus on 2D and 3D cone-beam reconstruction algorithms, CT artifacts, and practical dose considerations.
This book details the physical principles and measurement techniques necessary for performing quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies focused on the brain. It is part of the Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering.
A comprehensive board review textbook covering key topics in internal medicine, designed to prepare candidates for certification and recertification exams.
A definitive resource covering diagnostic protocols, surgical techniques, and up-to-date medical management for common and complex urological conditions, including oncology, calculous disease, and voiding dysfunction. This edition features expanded content on robotic surgery and molecular diagnostics.
This comprehensive clinical guideline outlines strong and conditional recommendations for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, covering fracture risk assessment, intervention thresholds, non-pharmacological management, specific pharmacological options (including bisphosphonates and denosumab), and strategies for managing patients with high fracture risk or receiving specific therapies (e.g., glucocorticoids, aromatase inhibitors).
The third edition of this comprehensive review, written in a teaching style similar to national board review courses. The content has been updated and divided into 5 portable volumes, incorporating new visuals, diagrams, radiographs, and photographs to aid retention. This specific volume focuses on Cardiology, Infectious Diseases & Immunology, and Principles of Teaching & Learning.
An essential chapter providing foundational knowledge of respiratory medicine, detailing the surface anatomy of the lungs, clinical implications of anatomical structures (e.g., apical tumors), and a comprehensive framework for taking a patient's respiratory history, including the definition of common symptoms like dyspnea and wheeze.
