Rationale and Objectives Most lung disease is inhomogeneously distributed but diagnosed by global spirometry. Regional lung function might allow for earlier diagnosis. Dynamic two-dimensional magn...

Rationale and Objectives Focal epilepsies potentially can be cured by neurosurgery; other treatment options usually remain symptomatic. High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the centr...

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the application of gold nanoparticles (AuNP) as a contrast agent for a clinical x-ray computed tomography (CT) system using a ...

Nothing induces palpitations, nausea, and lightheadedness quite like receiving your first ultrasound request as a radiology resident on the first night of call. Maybe, prior to this, you have done ...

Rationale and Objectives Conventional mammography can not distinguish between transmitted, scattered, or refracted x-rays, thus requiring breast compression to decrease tissue depth and separate o...

Rationale and Objectives Basic exploratory data analysis to evaluate enhancement and tumor size (SIZE) in contrast-enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) during chemotherapy. Correlat...

This book is part of a series of small, portable, efficient review books in radiology. In this case, the subject matter is a subset of neuroradiology, head and neck imaging. There are some positive...

Rationale and Objectives Molecular imaging modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) have emerged as an essential diagnostic tool for monitoring treatment resp...

Rationale and Objectives Totally implanted subcutaneous central venous access devices (chest ports) are an attractive option for patients in need of intermittent, recurrent venous access. In our d...

Rationale and Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effects of radiation dose reduction on the assessment of the tracheal lumen on expiratory multidetector computed tomographic (MDCT)...
