This book explores water geothermometry, a highly relevant topic in the exploration and exploitation of geothermal energy. Presenting theoretical geothermometers and indicators of CO2 fugacity, it describes a rigorous new approach entirely based on thermodynamics. The book will appeal to geothermal geoscientists, especially those working in research institutions and companies around the globe. It is also of interest to students on advanced courses in applied geochemistry, water–rock interaction and other related areas.
This book includes innovative gas-geothermometers and geobarometers, which are urgently needed to estimate the increasingly higher temperatures and pressures present at depth below the Solfatara volcano, owing to its on-going unrest. Therefore, in this book, new gas geoindicators, applicable up to ca. 1000°C and 3 kbar, have been implemented and applied to Solfatara fluids. The innovations of this book include: methane, having a sluggish behavior, was treated separately from fast-reacting carbon monoxide; deviations from the ideal gas behavior were considered; the effects of reaction kinetics were taken into account. This was possible because a dataset including many geochemical parameters and extending from 1983 to 2020 with a good sampling frequency is available for Solfatara, making it a case history probably unique worldwide. Nevertheless, the gas geoindicators described in this book can be applied to other similar systems. Thus, this book is of interest to many scientists studying gas geochemistry, geothermometry, and geobarometry for volcanic surveillance and the mitigation of the volcanic risk.
This book focuses on the role of diagnostic and interventional radiology in obstetrical and gynecological diseases. It provides relevant information on each topic, considering both diagnostic and interventional radiology, which now belong to the same professional unit. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the most relevant clinical aspects of the pathology. Diagnostic examinations are also discussed, with a focus on the radiological studies (US/CT/MR) functional to subsequent procedures. This is followed by an interventional section, which clarifies the indications, contraindications, techniques (including choice of materials) and follow-up. Lastly, clinical cases are provided, together with multiple-choice review questions. Given its scope, the book will appeal to radiologists, gynecologists and obstetricians, as well as to residents in these specialties.
Focusing on time-tested protocols, tailored imaging and current procedural equipment, this popular, practical handbook by Drs. Krishna Kandarpa, Lindsay Machan, Robert Lewandowski, and Parag J. Patel features extensive updates to keep you current with rapid growth in the field. Now in brilliant full color throughout, Kandarpa Handbook of Interventional Radiologic Procedures, 6th Edition, is a convenient, easy-access guide to all current radiologic procedures. It’s an ideal resource not only for practicing interventional and general radiologists, but also for fellows and residents in training, IR nurses, and special procedure technologists.
Learn to avoid and manage complications from non-vascular interventional and interventional oncological procedures The range of non-vascular procedures that can be performed in interventional imaging is vast and includes management of a wide range of conditions, such as treatment of kidney stones, obtaining diagnostic biopsies in suspected cancers, bile duct occlusions, compression fractures, drainage of abscesses, collection of fluids, etc. In particular, various cancers often lend themselves well to local tumor destruction with interventional techniques, while holding morbidity and mortality to a minimum. This compendium presents 45 cases in detail to provide a thorough review of potential...
L’urgenza vascolare è la vera urgenza. Data la variabilità delle presentazioni cliniche, il radiologo è sempre più spesso chiamato in causa per problemi diagnosticodifferenziali e a lui sono demandati l’inquadramento nosologico e le scelte terapeutiche dei casi dubbi. Se il tempo è l’unica variabile determinante, la diagnosi deve essere tempestiva ed accurata perché si possano attuare le scelte terapeutiche idonee. Pertanto è necessario che il radiologo sappia agire con sollecitudine e “precisione chirurgica”. Lo scopo del volume è fornire, attraverso la presentazione di un’ampia casistica, un mezzo facile, veloce e stimolante, attraverso cui il lettore possa confrontarsi.
