The rationale for using intraoperative irradiation (IORT) is based on the realization that tolerable doses of eternal beam radiation are often insufficient to achieve control of locally advanced malignancies. In these instances, the IORT component of treatment becomes the optimal conformal technique of irradiation, since dose-limiting organs or structures can either be surgically displaced or protected by placement of lead shielding. This fully revised and expanded second edition is of interest to those with intraoperative electron (IOERT) capabilities, high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-IORT) capabilities, or both. Techniques, indications, and results are discussed by disease site. Each chapter is dual authored by a radiation oncologist and a surgeon, giving a balanced presentation of clinical scenarios. Issues of basic science and physics are also covered, and a notable chapter on normal tissue tolerance is included. Intraoperative Irradiation: Techniques and Results, Second Edition is a superb compilation, providing essential cutting-edge knowledge. It is a foundation for physicians as IORT develops and becomes more widely available.
Progess in specific computer-assisted techniques (digital imaging , computer-aided diagnosis, image-guided surgery, MEMS, etc.) combined with computer-assisted integration tools offers a valuable complement to or replacement for existing procedures in healthcare. Physicians are now employing PACS and telemedicine systems as enabling infrastructures to improve quality of and access to healthcare. Tools based on CAD and CAS facilitate completely new paths in patient care. To ensure that CARS tools benefit the patient, collaboration between various disciplines, specifically radiology, surgery, engineering, informatics, and healthcare management, is a critical factor. A multidisciplinary congress like CARS is a step in the desired direction of knowledge sharing and crossover education. It provides the necessary cooperative framework for advancing the development and application of modern computer-assisted technologies in healthcare.
Computers have had and will continue to have a tremendous impact on professional activity in almost all areas. This applies to radiological medicine and in particular to radiation therapy. This book compiles the most recent developments and results of the application of computers and computer science as presented at the XIIIth International Conference on the Use of Computers in Radiation Therapy in Heidelberg, Germany. The text of both oral presentations and posters is included. The book is intended for computer sientists, medical physicists, engineers and physicians in the field of radiation therapy and provides a comprehensive survey of the entire field.
Der PET/CT-Atlas in seiner 4. Auflage stellt eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung des erfolgreichen Buchkonzepts dar. Er soll Ärzten verschiedenster Fachrichtungen als Nachschlagewerk dienen, die Indikationsstellung erleichtern und den therapiesteuernden Einfluss der PET/CT bzw. PET/MR beleuchten. Inhalt Das Buch ist in 5 Sektionen unterteilt – Grundlagen, Maligne Erkrankungen, Therapiemanagement, Benigne Erkrankungen und Zukunftstendenzen – innerhalb derer es eine Vielzahl inhaltlicher Neuerungen gibt, z. B.: - Grundlagen: Praktischer Leitfaden für die technische Konfiguration und klinische Anwendung - Benigne/maligne Erkrankungen: Berücksichtigung neurologischer und demenzieller Erkra...

Bildgebende Verfahren spielen eine zentrale Rolle in der modernen Medizin. In neuerer Zeit gewinnen hier insbesondere Verfahren für die 3D-Operationsplanung und computergestützte Chirurgie zunehmend an Bedeutung. Die Entwicklung neuer Verfahren und die Verbesserung existierender Ansätze sind eine große interdisziplinäre Herausforderung, bei der Wissenschaftler, Hersteller und Anwender aus Medizin, Informatik, Technik, Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften eng zusammenarbeiten müssen, um entscheidende Fortschritte zu erzielen. Der Workshop Bildverarbeitung für die Medizin hat sich als ein interdisziplinäres Forum für die Präsentation und Diskussion von Methoden, Systemen und Anwendungen im Bereich der Medizinischen Bildverarbeitung etabliert.
