Brachytherapy remains an important component of radical radiation therapy in the modern management of cancer. Widespread adoption of remote afterloading now enables brachytherapy to be delivered with minimum exposure to staff and other patients. Technical advances in imaging and computing power have improved the precision of implantation and complex dosimetry can now be achieved in routine practice. The advantages of direct placement of the radiation source into the area to be treated, overcoming the problems of patient and organ movement, together with the dosimetric advantages inherent in brachytherapy, will ensure that modern brachytheraoy continues to provide the optimal means of delivering accurate high does radiation therapy for many patients. Fully updated for the second edition, this book provides practical guidance on the use of brachytherapy. Each chapter gives the reader a solid background in the physics and dosimetry of the technique, followed by practical information on its use in common disease sites. Whilst low, medium, and high dose rate techniques are covered, emphasis is placed on high dose rate afterloading techniques which are likely to replace most other forms of brachytherapy in the future. ABOUT THE SERIES: Radiotherapy remains the major non-surgical treatment modality for the management of malignant disease. It is based on the application of the principles of applied physics, radiobiology, and tumour biology to clinical practice. Each volume in this series takes the reader through the basic principles of the use of ionising radiation and then develops this by individual sites. This series of practical handbooks are aimed at physicians both training and practising in radiotherapy, as well as medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiographers and senior nurses.

Uno studio completo sulle innovazioni e le tecniche più avanzate di imaging, finalizzate alla riabilitazione terapeutica, con indicazioni e consigli utili agli addetti ai lavori. La ricerca prende in esame con rigore scientifico 200 stati di immagine, relativi a diversi casi o procedimenti usati nella diagnosi delle lesioni: radiografia, ecografia, tomografia computerizzata e risonanza magnetica. Il contenuto è esaustivo anche grazie al contributo dato, a Roma, dal Laboratorio di ricerca in Diagnostica per immagini e radiologia dell'Università telematica Niccolò Cusano, in convenzione con il Dipartimento di Scienze radiologiche del Policlinico Umberto I e, all'estero, dal Department of Rehabilitation Sciences dell'Università del Kentucky e dalla Radiologie Sciences School of Allied Health dell'Università dell'Illinois. Secondo il direttore del Dipartimento di Medicina sperimentale dell'Università La Sapienza di Roma, Mario Piccoli, il volume offre "un quadro esaustivo sul piano scientifico e proposizionale sul piano della metodica medica".

Sebbene la diagnosi di artrite reumatoide si basi principalmente sulle manifestazioni cliniche, la rapida evoluzione della moderna diagnostica per immagini ha consentito di ottenere preziosi e, spesso, insostituibili informazioni semeiologiche, indispensabili per un migliore e più approfondito inquadramento clinico del paziente. Le diverse tecniche di imaging possono svolgere un ruolo determinante nella diagnosi, nella documentazione delle lesioni anatomiche elementari (sede, natura, entità ed estensione), nel monitoraggio della progressione della malattia e nella valutazione della risposta al trattamento.

Testo come strumento didattico non solo per gli studenti, ma anche per la soluzione di molteplici problemi diagnostici sia dei medici di base che dei vari specialisti.
