Magnetic Resonance Elastography (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

This innovative book presents the development and clinical applications of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new MRI-based imaging technology for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of tissue. Many disease processes cause profound changes in mechanical characteristics of tissue, but these changes can be completely invisible in examinations with conventional imaging technologies. MRE provides unique tissue information and powerful new diagnostic capabilities.

The book begins with an accessible overview of the basic technology underlying MRE. Successive chapters provide coverage of the use of MRE to assess organ systems, including liver, skeletal muscle, brain, lungs, heart, breast, spleen, and kidney. The book is edited by Sudhakar Venkatesh, MD, a leader in the clinical use of this technology, and Richard Ehman, MD, the inventor of MRE. Magnetic Resonance Elastography is a valuable resource for radiologists, residents, fellows, technologists, hepatologists and scientists.

Rezensionen

"Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was first described in 1995 and since then has become widely used to investigate various organs as a research tool. In the last few years, the technique has entered the clinical arena and can be used instead of liver biopsy to assess hepatic fibrosis. ... There is a strong emphasis on clinical applications throughout the book, particularly regarding liver disease. This makes the book of interest to clinical radiologists as well as those involved in research." (Dr. Edmund Godfrey, RAD Magazine, September, 2015)
