Reading MRI of the Prostate
This book provides a concise guide to prostate cancer imaging. Beginning with normal MR anatomy, the book details the various components of a typical mpMRI protocol and discusses MR interpretation and reporting under PI-RADS version 2 guidelines. MR appearances of atypical locations of prostate cancer, common tumor mimics, MR-guided biopsy strategies, and the role of active surveillance are also covered. Reading MRI of the Prostate aims to help urologists and radiologists understand the evaluation and interpretation of prostate MRIs.
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a ‘go-to’ reference for methods and applications of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging, with specific sections on Relaxometry, Perfusion, and Diffusion. Each section will start with an explanation of the basic techniques for mapping the tissue property in question, including a description of the challenges that arise when using these basic approaches. For properties which can be measured in multiple ways, each of these basic methods will be described in separate chapters. Following the basics, a chapter in each section presents more advanced and recently proposed techniques for quantitative tissue property mapping, with a concluding chapter...
Giving Bodies Back to Data
An examination of the bodily, situated aspects of data-visualization work, looking at visualization practices around the development of MRI technology. Our bodies are scanned, probed, imaged, sampled, and transformed into data by clinicians and technologists. In this book, Silvia Casini reveals the affective relations and materiality that turn data into image--and in so doing, gives bodies back to data. Opening the black box of MRI technology, Casini examines the bodily, situated aspects of visualization practices around the development of this technology. Reframing existing narratives of biomedical innovation, she emphasizes the important but often overlooked roles played by aesthetics, aff...

Trauma and Guilt
This book analyzes postwar literary works on large area bombings of German cities both in the context of trauma theory and questions of guilt and shame about Germany's Nazi past, embedding the recent debate surrounding the air war of World War II and its influence on German culture in a broader historical, societal, and psychological context.
Ultra-High Field Neuro MRI
Ultra-High Field Neuro MRI is a comprehensive reference and educational resource on the current state of neuroimaging at ultra-high field (UHF), with an emphasis on 7T. Sections cover the MR physics aspects of UHF, including the technical challenges and practical solutions that have enabled the rapid growth of 7T MRI. Individual chapters are dedicated to the different techniques that most strongly benefit from UHF, as well as chapters with a focus on different application areas in anatomical, functional and metabolic imaging. Finally, several chapters highlight the neurological and psychiatric applications for which 7T has shown benefits. The book is aimed at scientists who develop MR techno...
Paul Lauterbur and the Invention of MRI
The story behind the invention of the most important medical diagnostic tool since the X-ray. On September 2, 1971, the chemist Paul Lauterbur had an idea that would change the practice of medical research. Considering recent research findings about the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals to detect tumors in tissue samples, Lauterbur realized that the information from NMR signals could be recovered in the form of images—and thus obtained noninvasively from a living subject. It was an unexpected epiphany: he was eating a hamburger at the time. Lauterbur rushed out to buy a notebook in which to work out his idea; he completed his notes a few days later. He had discovered the basi...
MR Perfusion, An Issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, E-Book
In this issue of MRI Clinics, guest editors Drs. Max Wintermark and Ananth Madhuranthakam bring their considerable expertise to the topic of MR Perfusion. Top experts in the field discuss all three MR perfusion techniques (DSC, DCE, and ASL), as well as provide separate articles on evaluation of gliomas, breast cancer, musculoskeletal, prostate, and heart. Contains 13 relevant, practice-oriented topics including perfusion imaging for brain tumors; dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MR perfusion; arterial spin labelling (ASL) MR perfusion; MR perfusion imaging of prostate; dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MR perfusion; MR perfusion imaging for breast cancer; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on MR perfusion, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of the Brain, Head and Neck, and Spine
This richly illustrated book, now in an updated and extended third edition, systematically covers the use of diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in all major areas of neuroradiology, including imaging of the head and neck and the spine as well as the brain. The authors guide the reader from the basic principles of DW imaging through to the use of cutting-edge diffusion sequences such as diffusion tensor (DTI) and kurtosis (DKI), fiber tractography, high b value, intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI), and oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE). Pathology, pathophysiology, and patient management and treatment are all thoroughly discussed....
