David Wilson (Ed.) 2005 With an Emphasis on Ultrasound When I started examining patients with ultrasound for musculoskeletal disorders we were still using static “B” scanners. CT was a new invention and MRI did not exist. Whilst my contemporaries were enthusiastically specialising in the use of nuclear medicine and ultrasound, I chose to take an interest and eventually […]

C. Catalano · R. Passariello (Eds.) 2005 The advent of spiral CT introduced a new era in radiology: three-dimensional acquisition. The possibility to acquire volumes instead of simply bi-dimensional scans allowed to introduce the concept of multiple phases studies after a single intravenous bolus of contrast agent administration and especially to acquire a volume during the passage of the […]

G.Marchal • T.J.Vogl • J.P.Heiken • G.D.Rubin (Eds) 2005 Scanning and Contrast Protocols The discovery of X-rays by Konrad Roentgen is one of the major milestones in the history of modern medicine, allowing for the first time a noninvasive look inside the patient. Two-dimensional X-ray images remained the basis of clinical radiology until the early 1970s when computerized […]

Massimo Lombardi • Carlo Bartolozzi 2005 The study of the heart and vessels by Magnetic Resonance Imaging represents a relatively new field of application, especially if one considers the large-scale diagnostic use of the technique in the neurological and muscular fields. The explanation of the delayed application in the cardiovascular field can be sought in the methodological complexity linked to […]

M. Filippi · N. De Stefano · V. Dousset J.C. McGowan (Eds.) 2005 The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to the study of the central nervous system (CNS) has greatly improved our ability to diagnose numerous pathological conditions affecting the brain and the spinal cord, as well as to monitor their evolution.

V. LATTANZIO G. SIMONETTI 2005 Guide to Interpreting, Reporting and Auditing Mammographic Images – Re.Co.R.M The terminology currently used in mammography is by no means uniform and clear-cut, and may frequently even be inappropriate for describing mammographic findings from a semiological and semantic point of view. Moreover, the natural evolution of language has added to the confusion.

G.Schneider • M.R.Prince • J.F.M.Meaney • V.B.Ho (Eds) 2005 Techniques, Indications and Practical Applications Those of us involved in the development of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the late 1980’s could hardly envision the routine application of MRA in every MR facility everyday. In those years there was spectacular development of many new MR clinical applications.
