Computed Tomography: Principles, Techniques and Clinical Applications
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
