Designed for both in-depth study as well as quick reference, Neuroradiology Cases covers the field of brain imaging through 192 concise and clinically relevant cases. Part of the Cases in Radiology series, this book follows the easy-to-learn case format of question and answer, complete with concise summaries and a generous amount of top-quality images. Following the format of the American Board of Radiology examinations, cases are grouped into three sections: Brain, Spine, and Ear, Nose, and Throat. Within each section, cases are randomly ordered and include challenging examples of common diseases as well as typical examples of less common ones. This collection of cases is ideal for the resident preparing for the boards, the fellow for the CAQ exam, or the radiologist in need of a quick review.

Negli ultimi anni, la diagnostica per immagini ha rivoluzionato la medicina veterinaria, offrendo la possibilità di eseguire una diagnosi precoce e accurata, migliorando la gestione delle malattie nei piccoli animali.Questo atlante di diagnostica per immagini rappresenta una preziosa risorsa per il medico veterinario e gli studenti appassionati del settore, integrando teoria e pratica attraverso immagini di alta qualità e descrizioni dettagliate di diverse patologie, sia comuni che rare.La diagnostica per immagini rappresenta un ausilio fondamentale per il raggiungimento di una diagnosi definitiva, permettendo di indagare dettagliatamente le patologie dei piccoli animali, attraverso metodiche di ecografia, radiografia, tomografia computerizzata, risonanza magnetica e scintigrafia.Con questo atlante, vengono illustrate una varietà di condizioni patologiche e anomalie congenite, fornendo un approccio visivo e al passo con i tempi tra le diverse tecniche, facilitandone l'apprendimento e la comprensione.

Plum and Posner's Diagnosis and Treatment of Stupor and Coma, 5th edition, is a major update of the classic work on diagnosing the cause of coma, with the addition of completely new sections on treatment of comatose patients, by Dr. Jan Claassen, the Director of the Neuro-ICU at Columbia New York Presbyterian Hospital. The first chapter of the book provides an up-to-date review on the brain mechanisms that maintain a conscious state in humans, and how lesions that damage these mechanisms cause loss of consciousness or coma. The second chapter reviews the neurological examination of the comatose patient, which provides the basis for determining whether the patient is suffering from a structural brain injury causing the coma, or from a metabolic disorder of consciousness. The third and fourth chapters review the pathophysiology of structural lesions causing coma, and the specific disease states that result in coma. Chapter five is a comprehensive treatment of the many causes of metabolic coma. Chapter 6 review psychiatric causes of unresponsiveness and how to identify and treat them. Chapters 7 and 8 review the overall emergency treatment of comatose patients, followed by the treatment of specific causes of coma. Chapter 9 examines the long term outcomes of coma, including the minimally conscious state and the persistent vegetative state, and how they can be distinguished, and their implications for eventual useful recovery. Chapter 10 reviews the topic of brain death and the standards for examination of a patient that are required to make the determination of brain death. The final chapter 11 is by J.J. Fins, a medical ethicist who was invited by the other authors to write an essay on the ethics of diagnosis and treatment of patients who, by definition, have no way to approve of or communicate about their wishes. While providing detailed background for neurological and neurosurgical specialists, the practical nature of the material in this book has found its greatest use among Internists, Emergency Medicine, and Intensive Care specialists, who deal with comatose patients frequently, but who may not have had extensive neurological training.

The third edition of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy was written to enhance the reader's understanding of the cutting-edge technology of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy. It is designed to both update old readers and inform new readers about the complexities and details of clinical management. This completely updated edition provides a step-by-step, practical approach to the use of IMRT in the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients. Because of IMRT's ability to employ individually controlled beamlets, it is an extremely promising technique, especially when paired with CT, PET, and/or MRI. With these improved procedures, doctors and clinicians will be able to take high resolution images of tumors while minimizing dosages to surrounding tissue. In order to focus on the most up to date IMRT techniques, the introductory chapters have been condensed to provide a brief overview of IMRT physics, mechanics and quality assurance, and also CT and MR imaging. To help assist in clinical decision-making it provides the reader with more than 700 full-color illustrations, IMRT tables and clear, straightforward descriptions that address a range of tumor types and sites including head and neck, urinary, and gynecologic cancers. Features: anatomy and anatomical imaging supports your understanding of IMRT and its advantages; over 700 high-quality, full-color illustrations to assist in clinical decision-making and over 90 new patient treatment graphics, updated in full-color; new chapters on anatomy and normal tissue complications, CNS, pancreas, rectum, and anal cavity; a new chapter on molecular imaging, focusing on new PET tracers for image-guided therapy; updated with new clinical data; review of current IMRT literature summarized in tables; includes clinical indications, image interpretation, target delineation, and plan optimization to help refine techniques, pinpoint treatment areas, and improve outcomes; new Chapters on pancreatic, rectal, and anal canal cancers included, with a focus on IMRT's treatment of these diseases; and chapters on breast and gynecological cancer are completely rewritten to include pertinent information on technique and application.
