Atlas of Ultrasonography. 2nd Edition

In comparison to other forms of diagnostic imaging, ultrasound is, in general, quicker, cheaper, and safer. The lack of radiation allows routine use during pregnancy. In comparing this new edition of Taylor's Atlas of Ultrasonography with the former edition, entitled Atlas of Gray Scale Ultrasonography, we see how much the field has expanded since 1978. "Ultrasound" formerly meant "A-mode," a s...

Atlas of Gray Scale Ultrasonography

It has been just five years since gray-scale ultrasound (U/S) became clinically available. Yet the day-to-day importance of U/S in general medicine and surgerynot just the traditional areas of ob/gyn and echocardiography-would be hard to overestimate. Because U/S is so new, however, there are still many clinicians who are ill at ease with those funny fuzzy speckled images, so different from the...

Atlas-based attenuation correction for small animal PET/MRI scanners

Small animal PET/MRI scanners producing anatomically co-registered simultaneously-acquired images of morphology, function and metabolic activity have become available and are expected to have a huge positive impact on the pre-clinical imaging field. Attenuation correction (AC) necessary for accurate quantification of PET signals is challenging in these scanners because the measured anatomical m...
