MR Linac Radiotherapy: A New Personalized Treatment Approach comprises both clinical and physical aspects of this new technology. The book covers treatment planning, workflow and technical issues about MR-Linac. Specially, the clinical use of MR-Linac according to different cancer types is presented by experienced physicians. This is a unique guide for medical physicists, RTTs, dosimetrists and physicians, as well as radiation oncologists and their teams. The MR Linac combines two technologies - a magnetic resonance imaging scanner and a linear accelerator - to precisely locate tumors, tailor the shape of radiation beams in real-time, and precisely deliver doses of radiation, even to moving tumors. This highly innovative technology is very new, and the number of newly installed MR-Linac machines will gradually increase worldwide. However, as there is no published book as a guideline, this book will help new MR-Linac users and centers planning to have MR-Linac.

This manual provides a wealth of information to help mammographers understand and successfully perform breast imaging techniques. It is structured in 7 parts: 1) Basic theory on anatomy, breast cancer, treatment, and organisational features of breast screening program; 2) Technical quality, on the mammographic unit and image; 3) Clinical quality, mammography positioning, and quality assessment; 4) on the report, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), stereotaxis, artifacts, surgical specimen management, contrast enhancement spectral mammography (CESM), molecular breast imaging (MBI), radioprotection in the Senology department and breast magnetic resonance imaging (BMRI); 5) Ergonomics in the Senology department, radiographer academic training and communication skills; 6) advanced information in evaluating and producing high-quality mammograms, and about the Poggi method; 7) 2 annexes on clinical and technical quality in mammography and 1 about collecting historical data in Breast MRI. Great importance is attached to the image produced, characterized by a very high level of diagnostic information, to enable the reader to find the lesion as early as possible. The question of image production is addressed, as is the thorough and appropriate assessment of its quality. This book contains up-to-date information on breast imaging and the breast cancer patient's surveillance pathway. It will therefore be of interest to radiographers, technologists, radiologists, breast nurses and radiography students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

This book brings together the expertise of nationally renowned radiologists and pathologists in resolving difficult breast lesions detected on imaging. While there are several separate resources available for radiology residents to study imaging modalities, there are few if any books that illustrate simultaneous radiology pathology correlates. This text will be a useful reference for residents, fellows, and practicing attendings in both disciplines. As the two disciplines of radiology and pathology are interrelated, the scope of the book is to provide and inform readers of not only typical examples of breast lesions that correlate with imaging findings that may or may not require surgical excision but also to resolve problematic lesions that are discordant with imaging findings. This book contains 14 chapters containing hundreds of images supplemented with key references. These chapters include outlines with systematic approaches to each disease entity punctuated by various imaging techniques, key diagnostic points seen on imaging, and pathology followed by differential diagnostic considerations. Finally, a summary of concordant and discordant findings is provided at the end of each section. Written by experts in the fields of radiology and pathology, as well as surgical colleagues that manage patients with breast diseases, Radiology Pathology Correlations of Breast Lesions serves as an easy-to-use reference for radiology and pathology residents and fellows, as well as practicing pathologists and radiologists. This book integrates the radiologic and pathologic appearance of relatively common breast lesions side-by-side with easy-to-understand descriptions and illustrations.
