Breast MRI: Fundamentals and Technical Aspects Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently doing breast MRI or interesting in starting.The first several chapters are directed toward understanding the physics behind breast MR and are easy to understand even by a non-physicist.The second half of the book turns toward protocols, safety and optimizing breast MRI techniques.The book is clearly written and has changed my clinical practice.I am now performing studies that use magnet time more efficiently and with improved image quality.This book is valuable to both the beginner and the experienced breast imager.It is particularly helpful to radiologists who want to improve their breast MRI protocols. I also recommend this book to any technologist who wants to know more about breast MRI.

Product Description:

Breast MRI has emerged as a valuable adjunct to the conventional imaging modalities in the detection of primary and recurrent breast cancer. Yet, most radiologists who rely on MRI do not have knowledge of the fundamentals so essential to achieving and maintaining high image quality.With a focus on the basic imaging principles of breast MRI rather than on mathematical equations, this book takes a practical approach to imaging protocols that helps radiologists increase their diagnostic effectiveness. The text walks the reader through the basics of MRI, making it especially accessible to beginners. From a detailed outline of equipment prerequisites for obtaining high quality breast MRI to instructions on how to optimize image quality, expanded discussions on how to obtain optimized dynamic information, and explanations of good and bad imaging techniques, the book covers the topics that are most relevant to performing breast MRI.By presenting the key aspects of breast MRI in straightforward terms and with clear images, this practical book benefits all practitioners seeking to increase their working knowledge and competence in breast MRI. It fills an important gap in the literature and is also of value to residents preparing for the diagnostic radiology boards.

Surgical Neuroangiography Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The whole work Surgical Neuroangiography by P Lasjaunias is a monument. While the first edition did not really reflect the brilliant mind that Prof Lasjaunias was, it was indispensable. In many ways the new edition is even better, much much better even since much of the sometimes confounding structure of the rpevious version has been improved and the book can now be used to really learn neuroangiography. Indeed the rpevious version, while containing information of extreme importance was very (very) difficult to read. The new version is rather easy and very very enjoyable since it provides great insight to the work of what was one of the giants of Neuroradiology whose lectures will be sadly missed.

Product Description:
This book will be helpful to professionals who use the vascular system of the spine, spinal cord, and brain in their practice and in their search for better understanding, reliability, and safety in their decisions and actions by providing a new conceptual approach to the vascular supply to the brain spine and spinal cord. Statements such as "the median cerebral artery is a branch of the anterior cerebral artery" or "the internal carotid and vertebral arteries are minor vessels, they can be absent. They represent the most common distribution pattern to the arterial circle at the base of the brain, but certainly not the only one" show that the authors are far from providing the traditional presentation of the arterial system in man.

Ultrasound of the Musculoskeletal System (Medical Radiology / Diagnostic Imaging) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is a tour de force in MSK ultrasound. The authors comprehensively cover this expanding area of a technically driven field. Logically presented with multiple diagrams and images. Easy to read and well referenced. The normal anatomical section prior to pathology presentation prepares the reader for comparision between normal and abnormal imaging. This manual must be considered the gold standard reference. A must for those who have an interest in sono-anatomy, rehabilitaitve ultrasound imaging and through to the Diagnostic ultrasound imaging sonographer or radiologist. Consider this a must for ultrasound imaging

Product Description:

This book is a comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Each chapter of the second section provides an introduction on clinical anatomy and the essentials of clinical history and physical examination. Thereafter, performance of the ultrasound study is explained and the normal and pathological anatomy is reviewed. To assist in understanding, the ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book contains a wealth of invaluable information.

Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Imaging 5th edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a new edition of a classic book. Has new section on PET which is good but not adequate given how much PET is used nowadays. Supplement with PET books like PET/CT: A Case-based Approach by Conti (this may be too expensive for a resident) or PET and PET/CT: A Clinical Guide by Lin (less expensive).
