Opis: Molecular Imaging in Oncology - , &, quot;Kim, &, quot;, E Kim

Advanced routine imaging techniques have made it possible to diagnose localized abnormalities often before they have produced irreversible damage. PET permits visualization of the metabolic or physiologic characteristics of tumors. MRI shows exclusive morphologic abnormalities, and functional MRI depicts the motor and sensory status in the vicinity of tumors. MRS offers biochemical information of tumors and surrounding normal tissues. Combining PET, MRI and MRS information we should be able to differentiate tumors from non-tumor lesions, to characterize types or grades of tumors, and to monitor tumor regression, recurrence or response to therapy. This book reports updated techniques, instrumentation and clinical application of PET, MRI and MRS in cancer management.Principles and Technology: Principles of Cancer Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology and Pathology; Imaging Strategies and Perspectives for Cancer Diagnosis and Monitoring; MRI: Physical Principles to Advanced Application; MRS: Physical Principles and Applications,Principle and Instrumentation of PET; Radiopharmaceutical for Tumor Imaging and MRI Contrast Agents....Clinical Applications of MRI, MRS and PET: Lung Cancers; Breast Cancers; Gastrointestinal Cancers, Urologic Cancers; Gynecologic Cancers; Brain Tumors; Head and Neck Tumors;Musculoskeletal Tumors;Melanoma,Lymphoma and Myeloma.
