Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer

This heavily-illustrated book analyzes high-resolution MRI scans and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. It is the first of its kind to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor grading.

MRI Atlas of Prostate Cancer analyses high-resolution MRI scanning and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. This combination improves the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer and may soon replace PSA testing and digital rectal examination. The first two chapters focus on normal anatomy, anatomic variations, benign disease and intraprostatic tumors. The subsequent chapters on MRI of extracapsular disease create a useful atlas of pathologic anatomy. This is the first text of its kind to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor grading. The chapters on the post-treatment prostate clearly display the increasing incidence of post-therapy recurrences. This book is intended for internists, radiologists, radiotherapists, oncologists, urologists, family practitioners, and general surgeons. Ultrasound, MRI, and radiotherapy technicians will find it extremely useful as a reference guide.

Only book in English to show color-coded DCE-MRI scans of prostate cancer and to correlate these imaging findings with tumor grading Clearly illustrates how MRI can contribute to the early detection of prostate cancer Includes case studies showing common imaging findings and pitfalls in the management of prostate cancer An invaluable teaching tool, using color images to review standard MRI sequences
