Radiotherapy: Theory and Practice
Radiotherapy or RT is a medical technique used for the treatment of cancer particularly, to kill or control the growth of malignant cells. The procedure uses ionizing radiation and is delivered by a linear accelerator. The radiation damages the DNA of cancerous tissue thereby leading to cellular death. Besides the tumor itself, the radiation may target the draining lymph involved with the tumor. RT is performed when cancer is localized to one area of the body. It can also be a part of adjuvant therapy for preventing tumor recurrence after surgery of a primary malignant tumor. Often, RT is used in conjunction with chemotherapy, and may also be used as palliative treatment. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the theory and practice of radiotherapy.

New Frontiers in Clinical Pathology
The diagnosis of diseases based on a laboratory analysis of bodily fluids, such as urine, blood, etc. and tissue homogenates or extracts, is under the scope of clinical pathology. Such investigations are guided by an understanding of chemistry, hematology, microbiology and molecular pathology. It is aided by tools such as microscopes, analyzers, centrifugal machines and strips, etc. A diagnosis is made by performing a macroscopic examination, a microscopic examination, automated analysis and a culture. The visual examination of a sample is part of the macroscopic analysis, while the microscopic analysis allows a pathologist to determine whether the liquid is normal, infectious, inflammatory or tumoral. The latter stage also allows the determination of the causal infectious agent, if any, such as a mould, yeast, bacterium, parasite or a virus. Automated analyzers measure different chemicals and other parameters with minimal human assistance. Clinical pathology, primarily for medical purposes use a culture media for various examinations. It is a field of medical science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. This book explores all the important aspects of clinical pathology, in the present day scenario. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of clinical pathology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.

Computed tomography is an imaging procedure that makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements. The X-ray measurements are taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of particular areas of a scanned object. This helps in seeing inside the object without cutting. Computed tomography is an important tool in medical imaging which supplements medical ultrasonography and X-rays. It is primarily used for preventive medicine or screening for disease, such as CT scanning of head, lungs, angiography, etc. CT scanning of the head is used to detect medical conditions such as bone trauma, tumors, infarction and calcifications. CT scanning of lungs is used for detecting both acute and chronic changes in the lungs parenchyma. In angiography, it is used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body. In cardiac imaging, it is performed to gain knowledge about cardiac and coronary anatomy. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of computed tomography. The topics covered herein deal with the core aspects of this field. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in medical imaging.
Pet and Spect Imaging: Advances in Medical Imaging
Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine functional imaging technique that is used to analyze metabolic processes in the body in order to diagnose the disease. PET is utilized as both a medical and research tool. In medicine, it is used in clinical oncology and diagnosis of certain diffuse brain diseases. As a research tool, PET is used to map the heart function and normal human brain, and also support drug development. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique. It primarily uses gamma rays. It delivers a gamma-emitting radioisotope into the patient via injection into the bloodstream. SPECT is used to complete any gamma imaging study such as bone scintigraphy, infection imaging, thyroid imaging and tumor imaging. It is also used to provide information about the localized function in internal organs, such as functional cardiac and brain imaging. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of PET and SPECT Imaging. It traces the progress of these fields and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post- graduate students.
Handbook of Angiography
The medical imaging technique that is used to visualize the lumen of blood vessels and organs of the body is known as angiography. It majorly examines arteries, veins and the heart chambers. This technique is used by injecting a radio-opaque contrast agent into the blood vessel and imaging using X-ray based techniques. Coronary angiography, fluorescein angiography, microangiography, neurovascular angiography and peripheral angiography are some examples of angiography techniques. Coronary angiography is one of the most common angiograms which are performed to visualize the blood in the coronary arteries. Cerebral angiography can lead to complications like stroke, allergic reaction, thrombosis and embolism formation. Medical procedure in which a fluorescent dye is injected into the bloodstream falls under the domain of fluorescein angiography. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of angiography. It provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of this field. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
Gynecological Imaging: A Reference Guide to Diagnosis and Surgery
Gynecological imaging encompasses a full range of gynecological technologies for detecting pathologies and conditions of the female reproductive organs. Gynecological conditions are usually diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy. Medical imaging is also vital in infertility investigations, gynecological oncology and diagnosis of Mullerian duct anomalies. Gynecological ultrasonography allows the visualization of the ovaries, the uterus and the fallopian tubes, as well as the adnexa, bladder and the recto-uterine pouch. It also facilitates the diagnosis of gynecologic cancers, assessment of pelvic organs, diagnosis of acute appendicitis, diagnosis and management of endometriosis, leiomyoma, ovarian cysts and lesions, etc. MRI, X-ray CT, projectional radiography and nuclear medicine are employed for investigating pregnancy related complications and intercurrent diseases, or for routine prenatal care. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of gynecological imaging. It strives to provide a fair idea about the diverse gynecological imaging techniques and to help develop a better understanding of their diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
Handbook of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The medical imaging technology that is used for the non-invasive assessment of the function and structure of the cardiovascular system is referred to as cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). This imaging technique is helpful in evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic pathways in cardiovascular disease. The applications of cardiovascular MRI include the assessment of myocardial ischemia and viability, myocarditis, iron overload, congenital heart disease and vascular disease. CMR study includes a few techniques of imaging such as cine imaging for heart function, 4D flow CMR, adenosine for perfusion, etc. This book presents the complex subject of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The book will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.
