Quantitative MRI in Cancer

Herausgeber: Pickens, David R.; Yankeelov, Thomas E.; Price, Ronald R.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explains the biophysics and theory behind many MRI techniques and gives examples of how these techniques are applied in cancer diagnosis and treatment. The first section of the book presents basic cancer biology, theoretical aspects of NMR/MRI physics, and the hardware required to form MR images. The next three sections cover image processing and characterizing tissue properties using endogenous and exogenous contrast mechanisms. The book concludes with emerging areas of MR cancer characterization, including radiation therapy planning, molecular and cellular imaging, pH imaging, and hyperpolarized MR.
