This book is devoted to sharing the knowledge and experience of expert radiation therapy (RT) for extranodal lymphomas. For that purpose, the authors provide clinical-pathological information, precise RT techniques, and treatment results, i.e., disease control and survival, of all extranodal lymphomas.
Numerous high-quality illustrations
The management of liver tumors is a nexus of interactions among multiple medical specialties, including radiation oncology. A multitude of liver-directed therapies are available for patients, ranging from surgery and liver transplantation to intra-arterial therapies, thermal ablation procedures, systemic therapies, and radiation treatments. With the introduction of hypofractionated irradiation, particle therapy, and radioembolization, there is growing interest in the use of radiation as a treatment for liver malignancies.
Since the incidence of skin neoplasms is constantly increasing as the population ages, there is a need for a monograph about radiation treatment of skin neoplasms and diseases. Excellent cosmetic and functional results can be shown with this treatment modality. This book comprehensively examines the indications for radiation therapy of cutaneous cancers, pre-cancerous lesions and benign dermatological disorders. The monograph provides concise introduction to physical and radiobiological principles, selection of radiation factors, dose definitions, as well as radiation reactions and risk assessments. Specific indications for radiotherapy of cutaneous neoplasms and radiation protection measures are discussed. Topics include radiation therapy of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, lymphomas, Kaposi’s sarcoma, Lentigo maligna melanoma, and Merkel cell tumor. A separate chapter discusses the skin reactions after nuclear accidents. Major scientific publications of the past 10 years are reviewed.
Considered the “gold standard” in the field for over 45 years, Radiobiology for the Radiologist combines traditional and molecular radiation biology principles and appeals to students, residents, and veteran clinical practitioners. This edition continues the two-part format of previous editions and features brand-new chapters, thoroughly updated content, and hundreds of figures that provide a visual context to the information in each chapter.
Equips the reader to perform one of the newest and safest approaches for treatment of back pain
This book provides a first authoritative text on radiochromic film, covering the basic principles, technology advances, practical methods, and applications. It focuses on practical uses of radiochromic film in radiation dosimetry for diagnostic x-rays, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, external beam therapies (photon, electron, protons), stereotactic body radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and other emerging radiation technologies. The expert authors address basic concepts, advantages, and the main applications including kilovoltage, brachytherapy, megavoltage, electron beam, proton beam, skin dose, in vivo dosimetry, postal and clinical trial dosimetry. The final chapters discuss the state of the art in microbeam, synchrotron radiation, and ultraviolet radiation dosimetry.
I love my books for my Radiology Classes versus renting or on-line editions. My books are used as I write notes, highlight important information for myself, underline instructors points, and underline (with a different color) what was on our tests, and those books are perfectly fine. I am almost finished with the Radiology Program and this textbook that is required for our Pathology class is the pits! I have opened this book a total of 3 times and the first few pages have fallen out! I don’t believe that the printing company had anything to do with the binding of the book. For the cost of this book, one would believe that they would receive a quality product as well. Certainly not worth the money paid.
This book describes the principles and applications of radiofrequency treatments for various spinal indications, including disc herniation, discogenic and radicular pain, facet joint arthropathy, and benign and malignant lesions of the vertebral column. The aim is to provide a handy guide that will acquaint readers with all aspects of radiofrequency neurotomy at different levels of the spine, enabling them to carry out treatments effectively and safely.
This is a very good overall book for radiology resident/registrar level. It is easy to read, and about 80% high-yield facts. Being the first edition there are quite a few typos/grammatical errors, but otherwise it is quality. I would recommend it for Part 2 study for FRANZCR/FRCR & equivalent radiology board exams in the US.
Radiographic Pathology for Technologists, 6th Edition concisely covers the injuries and abnormalities most frequently diagnosed using medical imaging to prepare you for what you are most likely to encounter on the job. This essential text also features background discussions of key anatomy and physiology principles, along with imaging considerations for each disease categorized by type followed by a description of its radiographic appearance, signs and symptoms, and treatment.
McGraw-Hill Specialty Board Review: Radiology is an outstanding review for both residents-in-training and practicing radiologists. You’ll find everything you need in this one comprehensive resource . . . questions, answers, detailed explanations, and targeted coverage that emphasizes key material in a simple, straightforward manner and reinforces important concepts.
The first guide to identifying and assessing changes following urologic surgery—with follow-up protocols
Really pleased with this purchase. Clearly written with good quality pictures. I’m in my foundation training and have found it useful but really wish I’d had this during my finals. Highly recommend.
Part of the acclaimed McGraw-Hill’s Radiology Case Review Series, this unique resource challenges you to look at a group of images, determine the diagnosis, answer related questions, and gauge your knowledge by reviewing the answer. It all adds up to the best review of thoracic imaging available―one that’s ideal for certification or recertification, or as an incomparable clinical refresher.
“Our opinion on this book remains certainly positive, also because it serves to occupy an almost empty space with a handy, clear and simple publication. We suggest this atlas as a standard text for nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists, residents and technicians whose work involves PET/CT imaging. It can also be suitable as a text for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.” (Sara M. d. A. Giorgio and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 42, 2015)
