Dear expert!

Can You tell me book titles with an overwiew about new and future
developments in medical Radiology, which are not yet a part of
clinical routine, but in clinical research at present -e.g. virtual
MR-/CT-endoscopy, molecular imaging, computer aided diagnosis (CAD) in
mammography, etc.  It should be titles in German or English language
and edited or updated in 2002 - not earlier!
I want to buy such a book online in an European book store such as
www.amazon.de or others. ThankYou!

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.

Books from Amazon.co.uk:

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.

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.
