Y. Kusaka, K.G. Hering, J.E. Parker (Eds.) 2005 Modem medical textbooks are rarely single-author efforts; rather, they are more often the products of multi-author scientific cooperation. This volume is no exception to that trend, and the work is indeed an example of the international collaboration required to produce a text with global relevance.

R. Maroldi · P. Nicolai (Eds.) 2005 As there are already many books on imaging of sinonasal tract diseases, one might wonder, “Why bother to compile another one?”. In responding to this question, it must be emphasized that cross-sectional imaging (i.e., computed tomography and magnetic resonance) has clearly been one of the backbones which has made possible, in […]

A. Jackson · D. L. Buckley · G. J. M. Parker (Eds.) 2005 Radiologists have long been interested in imaging and measuring blood fl ow and in characterising the structure of blood vessels within pathological tissues. In 1927 Egas Moniz described the technique of cerebral angiography using injection of radio-opaque contrast agent combined with conventional radiology.

EDITED BY U. JOSEPH SCHOEPF 2005 Through the ages of exploration and enlightenment the heart has kept its fascination as the metaphor of life. Its firm entrenchment in human emotion and consciousness and the overwhelming socioeconomic importance of its diseases make noninvasive visualization and diagnosis of the heart and its diseases the coveted “holy grail” of medical imaging.

Thomas Albrecht Lars Thorelius Luigi Solbiati Luca Cova Ferdinand Frauscher 2005 Liver, Prostate, Pancreas, Kidney and Lymph Nodes The value of ultrasound contrast agents (USCA) in clinical practice depends on the pharmacokinetics, the signal processing, and the contrast-specific imaging modalities. USCA are exogenous non-toxic substances smaller than red blood cells,which after intravenous administration must be stable enough to pass through […]
