Parallel imaging techniques have only recently been introduced into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in clinical routine, but they have already gained wide clinical acceptance in numerous applications. Their substantial advantages in terms of higher spatial and temporal resolution and improved image quality have revolutionized the role of MRI in many areas of comprehensive disease imaging. This book presents the first in-depth introduction to parallel imaging techniques and, in particular, to the application of parallel imaging in clinical MRI. It will provide readers with a broader understanding of the fundamental principles of parallel imaging and of the advantages and disadvantages of specific MR protocols in clinical applications in all parts of the body at 1.5 and 3 Tesla. The first part of the book explains relevant MRI physics and techniques, detailing the various image reconstruction algorithms for parallel imaging. The second part presents detailed, ready-to-use clinical protocols for morphologic, angiographic, and functional MR imaging, with special emphasis on problem-solving strategies for assessment of cardiovascular and oncological diseases. In addition, detailed information is provided on cutting-edge techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging, oxygen-enhanced lung imaging, and MRA with blood pool contrast agents.

Dual-energy CT is a novel, rapidly emerging imaging technique which offers important new functional and specific information. With implementation of the technology in commercially available scanners, many clinical applications are now feasible. In this book, physicists and specialists from different CT manufacturers provide an insight into the technological basis of, and the different approaches to, dual-energy CT. Renowned medical scientists in the field explain the pathophysiological and molecular background of the technique, discuss its applications, provide detailed advice on how to obtain optimal results, and offer hints regarding clinical interpretation. The main focus is on the use of dual-energy CT in daily clinical practice, and individual sections are devoted to imaging of the vascular system, the thorax, the abdomen, and the extremities. Evaluations and recommendations are based on personal experience and peer-reviewed literature. Plenty of carefully chosen high-quality images are included to illustrate the clinical benefits of the technique.

Der Leitfaden für die tägliche Routine in der MR-Angio! Die MR-Angiographie (MRA) hat sich mittlerweile als Routineverfahren fest etabliert. Die großen Vorteile dieser Technik sind die fehlende Strahlenexposition und Invasivität sowie die gute Verträglichkeit der verwendeten Kontrastmittel. Die Innovationen in der MRT-Technologie haben auch auf dem Gebiet der MR-Angiographie zahlreiche neue Möglichkeiten eröffnet. Und die Entwicklung schreitet fort, d.h. das Potential ist immer noch nicht ausgeschöpft. Auf der anderen Seite besteht bei kaum einem anderen Untersuchungsverfahren eine so hohe Variabilität bei der Durchführung und damit bei der Qualität und Aussagekraft der entstandenen Bilder. An diesem kritischen Punkt setzt das vorliegende Buch an: Es gibt für alle derzeit gängigen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten klare „State of the Art“- Empfehlungen zur Erzeugung valider Daten. Denn nur diese erlauben eine zuverlässige Befundinterpretation. Entscheidend für die Praxis ist hier eine systematische Zuordnung von Hintergrundwissen, angewandter Parameter und Bildergebnis. Dies war bisher die Limitation vieler Standardwerke, in denen ausführliche Textpassagen keine konsistente Umsetzung in Bild- und Anwendungsbeispiele aufwiesen. Genau diese Kette wird in diesem innovativen Buchprojekt für jede Technik, Organregion und Erkrankung systematisch durch ausgewiesene Experten geschlossen. Dabei wurde darauf geachtet, dass Text und Bild zu einem integrativen und aufeinander aufbauenden Lernerlebnis werden. Ein Buch für alle, die sich mit dem ebenso anspruchsvollen wie zukunftsweisenden Verfahren MRA vertraut und alltagssicher machen wollen.
