This is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging of the entire spectrum of hematological malignancies. The use of the latest imaging modalities is well described. In the first chapter of the book, magnetic resonance imaging of the bone marrow is discussed in detail. The following chapters describe exhaustively the imaging features of hematological malignancies, supported by thorough radiological and histological illustrations and tables. The third part documents the effects of therapy on each anatomical group of organs in patients treated in Hematology. The last part details the interventional procedures employed for diagnosis, evaluation of treatment and also therapeutic purposes. Each of the 28 chapters is written by an internationally recognized expert, making this book the most current and complete treatment of this subject available. It should be of great interest to radiologists and hematologists.

Additional text
From the reviews:
This book provides a very welcome insight into what the various techniques have to offer in the field of haemato-oncology.
The illustrations are of high quality throughout
As a practising haematologist who deals mainly with 'liquid' tumours, I found the book useful and very informative. It covers a subject which has developed very rapidly in recent years and it is useful to find a book which succinctly covers such a large area.
RAD Magazine, June, 2005
"The present book is one of the first books to deal specifically with imaging of the entire spectrum of hematological malignancies and to describe the use of the latest imaging modalities. … the editor and his contributors can be congratulated on this extremely interesting volume on the use of cross-sectional imaging and the role of radiology in hematological disorders. As a comprehensive reference book, it will be of great interest to radiologists and hematologists." (T. J. Vogl, European Radiology, Vol. 16, 2006)
