Hello,
These are the only titles I have found which claim to deal with new
techniques and approaches, at least to some extent. They are all
available from amazon.co.uk, and I have indicated which ones are also
available from amazon.de. Following the list of book titles, I also
list some Internet resources which might be useful to you.

Multislice CT by M.F. Reiser (Editor), M. Takahashi (Editor), M.
Modic (Editor), R. Bruening (Editor) This book provides a detailed
overview of multislice CT, an technique recently introduced into
clinical practice. An initial section acquaints the reader with
technical developments and concepts and their implications for routine
protocols and research. Thereafter the focus is principally on the
diagnostic applications of multislice CT in each of the most important
anatomical regions. Examinations of the abdomen, neck, brain, blood
vessels, chest and musculoskeletal system are individually described
and illustrated, due attention being paid to the special scanner
settings necessary in each case. There are also sections on cardiac
applications of multislice CT and interventional CT. In each chapter,
the authors present recent research in the field and discuss its
impact on clinical imaging and patient handling. Paperback - 218

Filmless Radiology by E.L. Siegel (Editor), R.M Kolodner (Editor)
This book examines the use of state-of-the-art technology to achieve
filmless radiology, describing its impact on healthcare systems and
providing insights into reengineering healthcare. Sharing expertise
developed in implementing Picture Archival and Communications System
(PACS) technology capable of supporting filmless radiology, it relates
experiences at the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center
(VAMC), the first site to have a fully operational filmless radiology
system. The book provides an overview of filmless radiology with
advice on acquiring PAC systems. Also included are sections on its
impact on the practice of radiology and the delivery of health care
(filmless radiology is central to teleradiology), clinical uses of
computed radiography, technological issues and case studies from both
inside and outside the VA system.

PACS: a Guide to the Digital Revolution by Keith J. Dreyer (Editor),
Amit Mehta (Editor), James H. Thrall (Editor)
This textbook reviews the technological developments associated with
the transition of radiology departments to filmless environments. Each
chapter addresses the key topics in contemporary literature with
regard to the generation, transfer, interpretation and distribution of
images to the medical enterprise. As leaders in the field of
computerized medical imaging, the editors and contributors provide
insight into emerging technologies for physicians, administrators and
other interested groups. As health care organizations throughout the
world begin to generate filmless implementation strategies, this
review should prove a vital aid to leaders in the development of
health care.
