Humana Press Image-Guided Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer 1st Editon 2003 Hardbound by Anthony V. D’Amico, Jay R. Harris
Prominent physicians review past, current, and future applications of the many powerful imaging techniques now used in the diagnosis, staging, treatment, and outcomes assessment of cancers of the prostate, central nervous system (CNS), and breast. Topics range from the use of screening mammography and approaches to breast cancer detection using MRI to improved visualization of the prostate gland from transrectal ultrasound and MRI, to MRI-guided resection of neoplasms.
