DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Reflecting recent interventions of startling impact and clinical benefit
and honoring the field’s legacy of innovation, this Third Edition of
Abrams’ Angiography: Interventional Radiology has been completely
revamped to reflect the fast-moving landscape of interventional
radiology. To provide a fresh take on leading-edge subjects, new series
editors, Drs. Jean-François H. Geschwind and Michael D. Dake put
together a team of 60 of today’s most renowned authorities to focus
on the 100 topics essential to mastering contemporary interventional
radiology. Now in vibrant full-color, this Third Edition begins with
an all-new section on interventional oncology, which includes expert
coverage of organ-specific cancers and specialized interventional
techniques in cancer care. Many of the themes considered in the
vascular sections are rooted in the original stock of the initial landmark
Abrams’ volume, updated to focus on current understanding.
Specialty Imaging: Functional MRI is designed as an accessible primer
for teaching functional anatomy and imaging essentials to practicing
neuroradiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, and
imaging scientists interested in designing, acquiring, and interpreting
functional MRI studies for scientific and clinical purposes. The book
includes background in related MRI physics, sequence configuration,
and image processing strategies needed to establish a functional
imaging service. An emphasis of the book is an authoritative treatment
of functional brain anatomy, including regional cortical anatomy, brain
network anatomy, and functional anatomy of core cognitive functions
such as language, motor, vision, memory, attention, and social brain
function. The book also contains detailed portraits of more than 20
common fMRI paradigms, with instructions for implementation and
sample activation maps expected from each paradigm.
