DESCRIPTION The long-awaited first edition of MR and CT Perfusion and Pharmacokinetic Imaging: Clinical Applications and Theory is a welcome new resource for healthcare professionals involved in the rapidly evolving field of perfusion technology. Using MRI and CT scanning procedures, perfusion imaging is being used with increasing frequency to aid the diagnostic process in a wide spectrum of pathologies, including ischemia, cancer, inflammation and many more, throughout the entire human body. This is the first text of its kind to comprehensively address the technical and clinical aspects of perfusion imaging, used in both MRI and CT. FEATURES f f The first text to include both MRI and CT in perfusion imaging studies and highlight their parallels as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each modality f f Overarching approach spanning from data acquisition to postprocessing and clinical data interpretation f f Includes real-life scenarios depicting the use of perfusion in actual patient cases f f Contains hundreds of MRI and CT scans that portray anatomy, variants, and pathology f f Provides key learning points and protocol suggestions for numerous clinical questions f f Each chapter unites international leaders in the field to convey most up-to-date knowledge

DESCRIPTION Expand your understanding of the physics and practical clinical applications of advanced radiation therapy technologies with Khan's The Physics of Radiation Therapy, 5th edition, the book that set the standard in the field. This classic full-color text helps the entire radiation therapy team—radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, and radiation therapists—develop a thorough understanding of 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), high dose- rate remote afterloaders (HDR), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and proton beam therapy, as well as the physical concepts underlying treatment planning, treatment delivery, and dosimetry. In preparing this new Fifth Edition, Dr. Kahn and new co- author Dr. John Gibbons made chapter-by-chapter revisions in the light of the latest developments in the field, adding new discussions, a new chapter, and new color illustrations throughout. Now even more precise and relevant, this edition is ideal as a reference book for practitioners, a textbook for students, and a constant companion for those preparing for their board exams. FEATURES f f Stay on top of the latest advances in the field with new sections and/or discussions of Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and the Failure Mode Event Analysis (FMEA) approach to quality assurance. f f Deepen your knowledge of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) through a completely new chapter that covers SBRT in greater detail. f f Expand your visual understanding with new full color illustrations that reflect current practice and depict new procedures. f f Access the authoritative information you need fast through the new companion website which features fully searchable text and an image bank for greater convenience in studying and teaching.
