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 […]

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.

K. Shirato (Ed.) 2005 Prevention and Treatment The fact that pulmonary thromboembolism is still associated with a high rate of mortality in Japan has led to the International Symposium for Pulmonary Thromboembolism being held regularly in the country. The first was convened in 1998 in Yokkaichi, Mie, as the International Symposium on Pulmonary Embolism.

Edited by Xander H.T. Wehrens and Andrew R. Marks 2005 Structure, function and dysfunction in clinical disease It has been 15 years since the ryanodine receptor/calcium release channel (RyR) cDNA was cloned, ushering in a new age of understanding for the largest known ion channel. Prior to the cloning of its cDNA, RyR was known to be a calcium […]
