Overview

The long-awaited first edition of MR And CT Perfusion And Pharmacokinetic Imaging: Clinical Applications And Theory is a welcome new resource for healthcare professionals involved in the rapidly evolving field of perfusion technology. Using MRI and CT scanning procedures, perfusion imaging is being used with increasing frequency to aid the diagnostic process in a wide spectrum of pathologies, including ischemia, cancer, inflammation and many more, throughout the entire human body. This is the first text of its kind to comprehensively address the technical and clinical aspects of perfusion imaging, used in both MRI and CT.
