商品簡介
This highly illustrated book/CD-ROM provides a global survey of the field of biomedical image-guided therapy. Part I offers a historical view of interventional medicine and conventional surgery, from ancient times to future directions, and surveys basics of medical imaging, with material on ultrasound, ionizing radiation, magnetic resonance imaging, and combinations of imaging modalities. Part II details various image-guided therapeutic modalities, such as lasers, radio frequency ablation, cryotherapy, videoscopic-guided therapy systems, gamma knife radiosurgery, and ultrasound-mediated drug and gene delivery. Part III demonstrates the integration of imaging and therapy to develop image-guided therapy systems, with material on 3D visualization, optical coherence tomography, image-guided needle-based procedures, robotic technology, and socioeconomic benefits of image-guided therapies. Numerous b&w photos and diagnostic images appear on every page. The CD-ROM contains high-resolution and color versions of many of the images in the book.
