Radiology of Osteoporosis

Univ. for Radiology, Wein, Austria. Textbook provides current knowledge on the latest perspectives in pathophysiology and current developments in diagnosis and therapy. The last chapter covers daily clinical practice and outlines the advantages of different methods. DNLM: Osteoporosis--diagnosis. Height 10.50, Width: 7.50; 2nd Category: Orthopedics & Orthopedic Surgery  

Synopsis
This comprehensive overview of osteoporosis considers the pathologic conditions that give rise to osteoporosis and the complications that are frequently encountered. After initial chapters devoted to pathophysiology, the presentation of osteoporosis on conventional radiographs is illustrated and discussed. Thereafter, detailed consideration is given to each of the measurement methods employed to evaluate osteoporosis, including dual x-ray absorptiometry, vertebral morphometry, spinal and peripheral quantitative computed tomography, quantitative ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The role of densitometry in daily clinical practice is appraised. Finally, a collection of difficult cases involving pitfalls is presented, with guidance to their solution. The information contained in this volume is aimed at all with an interest in osteoporosis.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Theory and Practice

Textbook on basic MRI technique. Gives readers the background needed to cope with problems arising when applying MRI in medicine. Contains many images showing specific properties of the different scan methods. Methods discussed include RARE, GRASE, EPI, and Spiral Scan. Previous edition: c1999. Height 9.56, Width: 6.44;  

Synopsis
Offering a comprehensive survey of the analytical treatment of MRI physics and engineering, this text gives readers the background to apply MRI in medicine or design (sub)systems or sequences for new applications. Special attention is paid to the treatment of intrinsic artifacts of the different sequences, which can be described in a mathematically uniform way for the different scan methods. The book contains many images, especially showing specific properties of the different scan methods. The methods discussed include RARE, GRASE, EPI and Spiral Scan. In this third edition, the chapter on motion and flow is expanded, and there is an added chapter on configuration theory and multipulse sequences such as BURST, TSE and FFE. The third edition deals with stranger gradient and new RF coil systems, and sequences such as Balanced FFE and q-space diffusion imaging and SENSE. The book also gives an overview of the early history of MRI imaging.
