This richly illustrated revised second edition provides a comprehensive survey of the growing role of medical imaging studies in the detection, staging, grading, tissue characterization, and post-treatment follow-up of soft tissue tumors. For each tumor group, imaging findings are correlated with clinical, epidemiologic, and histologic data. The relative merits and indications of various imaging modalities are discussed and compared. Particular emphasis is placed on MRI. The updated edition includes new chapters on soft tissue lymphoma, soft tissue tumors in the pediatric patient and biopsy of soft tissue tumors. It aims to serve both as a systematic, descriptive textbook and as a rich pictorial database of soft tissue masses.
In 15 years MRI has evolved into an essential modality, developing from being a preferred neuroimaging method to becoming a whole-body, comprehensive imaging approach. For this, various coils, pulse sequences, and contrast media have been developed. The complexity of the factors to consider often represents an obstacle not only to beginners but also to more experienced technicians and physicians. Since routine diagnostic questions represent more than 90% of clinical examinations, the intention of the editors and authors was to provide an understandable book for this purpose. The book gives practical information about performing effective and efficient MR examinations in daily practice. Solving clinical questions with new sequences should no longer be difficult for beginners in the field.
This richly illustrated book provides a comprehensive survey of the growing role of medical imaging studies in the detection, staging, grading, tissue characterization, and post-treatment follow-up of soft tissue tumors. For each tumor group, imaging findings are correlated with clinical, epidemiologic, and histologic data. The relative merits and indications of various imaging modalities are discussed and compared. Particular emphasis is placed on MRI because of its unique contrast resolution and multiplanar imaging capabilities. This third, revised and updated edition includes new chapters on genetics and molecular biology and on pathology of soft tissue tumors, with respect to the new World Health Organization (WHO) classification of soft tissue tumors. It aims to serve both as a systematic, descriptive textbook and as a rich pictorial database of soft tissue masses. The addition of numerous new illustrations of common and rare soft tissue tumors will further increase the scientific and educational value of this third edition.
This book provides a complete overview of all modalities used for hand and wrist imaging, along with a complete over- view of the various disease entities that can be diagnosed. As a state-of-the-art overview of hand and wrist imaging it is a reference work for radiologists, hand surgeons, ortho- pedists, traumatologists, rheumatologists and internists and their residents in training. The chapters are written by ex- perts in musculoskeletal radiology from various European countries and the USA.
This book presents the proceedings of the fib Symposium “Building for the future: Durable, Sustainable, Resilient”, held in Istanbul, Turkey, on 5–7 June 2023. The book covers topics such as concrete and innovative materials, structural performance and design, construction methods and management, and outstanding structures. fib (The International Federation for Structural Concrete) is a not-for-profit association whose mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic, and environmental performance of concrete construction.
Only with the advent of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have radiologists become familiar with this uncommon pathology. The emphasis here is on MRI, as it guarantees the most accurate diagnosis of soft tissue tumours. Because of their rarity, multi-centric studies are necessary to collect statistically relevant numbers of these tumours and so assess the value of new imaging techniques in their detection, staging, grading, tissue characterisation, and post-treatment follow-up. This is a reflection of the work of a prestigious European study group of more than 30 such co-investigators - including experts on medical imaging - who collected more than 800 documented and histologically proven cases of soft tissue tumours. For each tumour type, 10-12 cases are shown, supported by 3-4 photos. Unsurpassed in its collection of case studies.
MRT ist als die führende Schnittbildtechnik mit einem breitgefächerten Anwendungsspektrum in der klinischen Praxis fest etabliert. Dieses Buch legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Behandlung routinediagnostischer Fragen, die mehr als 90 % des Praxisalltags ausmachen. Anliegen der Autoren ist es, dem Leser praktische Hilfestellung bei der Bewältigung der vielfältigen klinischen Aufgaben zu bieten und Möglichkeiten zur Steigerung von Effizienz und Kosteneffektivität aufzuzeigen. Ein großes Kapitel ist der MRT in der Pädiatrie gewidmet. Klinische MR-Bildgebung wendet sich sowohl an den Anfänger, der an neue Sequenzen und Untersuchungsprotokolle herangeführt wird, als auch an den erfahrenen Praktiker, der eine Fülle von Anregungen zur Optimierung der Arbeitsabläufe erhält.
Bob van Reeth never rebelled against the architectural status quo, but preferred to quietly ignore its orthodoxies, finding inspiration in the brickyards of his native region on the banks of the River Scheldt in Belgium. These structures, with their sometimes bizarre outbuildings, proved a galvanizing resource for a young architect who, moved by the social revolutions of 1968, aspired to restore a civic fluidity to the spaces in which we live and act. Van Reeth offsets spontaneity with a skill and precision that place him at the forefront of his generation of designers. His works include the Botte House, Battel, Mechelen (1969-71), a project for a new wing at Onze-Lieve-Vrouwcollege, Antwerp (1977-1978) and the Huis Van Roosmalen, Sint-Michielskaai, Antwerp (1985-1987).
