Radiology: Techniques and Applications

Radiology is a field concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, using medical imaging. Radiological imaging techniques include ultrasonography, X-ray radiography, nuclear medicine, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. Advanced imaging techniques allow the meaningful acquisition of images of the interior of the body with a high degree of accuracy. Such techniques are of immense use in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, abdomen imaging, pediatric radiology, interventional radiology, breast imaging, etc. Perfusion MRI techniques are useful for the characterization of tumors and assessment of the hemodynamic state of brain tissue. MR elastography allows examination of the viscoelastic properties of the liver. Digital subtraction angiography is the best method for the evaluation of cerebral aneurysms. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of radiology and the recent researches in this domain. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing techniques, applications and evolution of this field are examined in detail. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
