Klappentext With cancer-related deaths projected to rise to 10.3 million people by 2020, the need to prevent, diagnose, and cure cancer is greater than ever. Cancer Imaging presents readers with the most up-to-date imaging instrumentation, general and diagnostic applications for various cancers, with an emphasis on lung and breast carcinomas--the two major worldwide malignancy types. This book discusses the various imaging techniques used to locate and diagnose tumors, including ultrasound, X-ray, color Doppler sonography, PET, CT, PET/CT, MRI, SPECT, diffusion tensor imaging, dynamic infrared imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It also details strategies for imaging cancer, emphasizing the importance of the use of this technology for clinical diagnosis. Imaging techniques that predict the malignant potential of cancers, response to chemotherapy and other treatments, recurrence, and prognosis are also detailed. Zusammenfassung Presents imaging technology used in clinics or at experimental stages for diagnosis and/or early detection of various cancers! including anticancer vaccines! surgical techniques! chemotherapy! radiation! and gene therapies. This book discusses cancers that include breast! lung! liver! prostate! cervical! brain! gastrointestinal! and ovarian. Inhaltsverzeichnis INSTRUMENTATION AND GENERAL APPLICATIONS CHAPTER 1.
