Based on the experience of two Italian referral centers, the book depicts the characteristic findings obtained when using MR imaging to study the male and female pelvis including the obstetric applications. Each chapter provides a comprehensive account of the use of the imaging technique of examination, including the most recent advances in MR imaging, the anatomy and MR possibilities in the identification, characterization and staging of the different pelvic diseases highlighting its diagnostic possibilities. The advances in fetal MRI, representing the cutting edge of pelvic MR imaging, will also be depicted. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations, as well as clinical cases that make this a very practice-oriented work, presenting the role of diagnostic imaging in every-day clinical activity. The volume will prove an invaluable guide for both residents and professionals with core interest in gynecology, obstetrics and urology.

Articles in this issue will include MRI of the Urinary Bladder; Multiparametric MRI Imaging of the Prostate; Diffusion Weighted Imaging of the Male Pelvis; MR Imaging of the Rectum; Penile MR Imaging; MR Imaging of Pelvic Metastases; MR Imaging of Scrotum; Vascular MR Imaging of the Male Pelvis; and more!

The second of a two volume set which describes the anatomical details visualized in diagnostic tomography. As a comprehensive reference, it is an aid when interpreting images: anatomic structures presented in representative cross-sectional CT & MRI images; schematic drawings of the highest didactic quality are clearly juxtaposed with the CT & MRI images; anatomic structures or functional units are color-coded in the drawings to facilitate identification.

"Now in its Second Edition, this thoroughly illustrated volume is a practical, problem-oriented "how-to" guide to performing and interpreting abdominal and pelvic MRI studies. Practical Guide to Abdominal and Pelvic MRI provides the necessary know-how for optimizing image quality and protocols and describes specific techniques, including MR angiography, MR cholangiopancreatography, MR urography, MRI of the gastrointestinal tract, and obstetrical MRI. A section on interpretation describes MRI appearances of 101 abdominal and pelvic abnormalities, presents differential diagnoses, and offers guidance on interpreting preoperative MRI studies. Additional chapters show normal MRI anatomy, answer frequently asked questions, and demystify MRI acronyms and terminology. This edition includes new imaging techniques and information on the liver, the kidney, and nephrogenic syndrome"--Provided by publisher.

This issue of MRI Clinics of North America focuses on MR Imaging of the Genitourinary System, and is edited by Dr. Ersan Altun. Articles will include: Future Perspectives in Multiparametric Prostate MR Imaging; MRI-Guided Focal Therapies of Prostate Cancer; Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases of the Urinary Tract: Role of MRI; MRI of the Perirenal Space and Retroperitoneum; Tumors of Renal Collecting Systems, Renal Pelvis and Ureters: Role of MRI and MR Urography versus CT Urography; Radiomics of Kidney Cancer; MRI of the Bladder Tumors – What Is the Incremental value of PET-MRI?; MRI of the Penis and Urethra; MRI of the Testicular and Extratesticular Tumors: When Do We Need?; MRI Evaluation of Kidneys in Patients with Renal Impairment: Non-Contrast Techniques versus Contrast-Enhanced Techniques; Classification and Diagnosis of Cystic Renal Tumors: Role of MRI versus Contrast–Enhanced Ultrasound; and more!

Carcinoma of the urinary bladder is a common (in the USA it is the fifth most common form of cancer in males and tenth most common form of cancer in females) malignan cy and one in which noninvasive staging by imaging plays such an important role. This book presents a complete approach to MR imaging of carcinoma of the urinary bladder from a detailed discussion of the value of MRI in the diagnosis of the urinary bladder to the history of the procedure. The technical discussion of the general principles of MRI including the optimal pulse sequences to be used and factors that influence the quality of images are included in this book. The safety factors are also presented along with contraindications. The application of a double surface coil with the field strength of O.5T provides the fine quality of the illustrations. The atlas of comparative anatomy by MRI on normal volunteers and post-mo'rtem specimens as well as MR images on patients with bladder tumors and post-surgery specimens is unique. The results of the clinical imaging stu dies in patients with carcinoma of the bladder, comparing the relative value of clinical staging, MR, CT and lymphography, are helpful in showing the advantages of MRI.

This book is a concise overview of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for brain, chest and abdominal disorders covering the very latest technologies and developments in the field. Beginning with an introduction to anatomy of these body systems, the following sections cover MR cholangiopancreatography, MRI of the female and male pelvis, and MR angiography. The atlas is enhanced by high quality MR images and tables with detailed descriptions to help clinicians understand complex anatomy. The comprehensive appendix provides a glossary of MRI terms and radiology measurement tables. Key Points Concise overview of MRI for brain, chest and abdomen Features sections on MR cholangiopancreatography, MRI of the pelvis, and MR angiography Comprehensive appendix provides glossary of terms and radiology measurement tables Includes high quality MR images and tables illustrating complex anatomy

This syllabus provides a wide overview of the latest developments in diagnostic work and intervention in diseases of the abdomen and pelvis. In addition to conventional diagnostic radiology, special procedures such as US, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and interventional techniques are discussed.

Positioning in MRI is a clinical manual about the creation of magnetic resonance images. This manual focuses upon patient positioning and image planning. The manual is organised by body region and provides valuable insight into - - Patient pathology on MRI. - Considerations when positioning both the patient and coil. - Imaging planes. - Anatomical image alignment. This manual is a comprehensive highly visual reference to the planning and positioning of patients and coils in MR imaging. High quality imaging specific to patient pathology is encouraged through the focus on 'considerations' specific to coil and patient placement and imaging plane selection. - Over 200 MR images - Formulaic internal design assist use as clinical manual to MRI planning - Evidence base provided where appropriate (cranial neurology) - Image selection – assist learning principles that underpin good positioning and anatomical coverage - Explores positioning of patient and coils specific to individual treatment requirements - Evolve website – image collection (over 200 MR images) and additional case studies
