Medizinische Physik 3: Medizinische Laserphysik

Die medizinische Physik hat sich in den letzten Jahren zunehmend als interdisziplinäres Gebiet profiliert. Um dem Bedarf nach systematischer Weiterbildung von Physikern, die an medizinischen Einrichtungen tätig sind, gerecht zu werden, wurde das vorliegende Werk geschaffen. Es basiert auf dem Heidelberger Kurs für medizinische Physik.

Re-irradiation: New Frontiers

New advancements resembling sophisticated mixed modality methods and important technical advances in radiation therapy making plans and supply are facilitating the re-irradiation of formerly uncovered volumes. in this case, either palliative and healing techniques might be pursued at numerous ailment websites.

Merrill's Atlas of Radiographic Positions & Radiologic Procedures, Vol 3

Well known because the top-quality of positioning texts, this highly-regarded, entire source positive aspects greater than four hundred projections and perfect full-color illustrations augmented by means of MRI photographs for additional aspect to augment the anatomy and positioning displays. In 3 volumes, it covers initial steps in radiography, radiation safety, and terminology, in addition to anatomy and positioning details in separate chapters for every bone team or organ procedure.

Esophageal Cancer: Prevention, Diagnosis and Therapy

​This publication reports the new development made within the prevention, analysis, and therapy of esophageal melanoma. Epidemiology, molecular biology, pathology, staging, and diagnosis are first mentioned. The radiologic evaluate of esophageal melanoma and the function of endoscopy in prognosis, staging, and administration are then defined.
