MRI Manual of Pelvic Cancer PDF

Preface

Magnetic resonance imaging continues to be an invaluable imaging tool in the staging of pelvic malignancy. In the second edition of this book, the chapters have been extensively revised and incorporate the 2010 UICC/AJCC staging system. A new chapter deals with penile cancer. The evidence for and sensible use of advanced MR techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging, dynamic contrast enhancement, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy are discussed. There are sections which deal with pitfalls in pelvic cancer MR imaging interpretation. Our intention is that this book will remain a useful bench reference for radiographers who image and radiologists who report pelvic MR examinations as well as being of interest to all those involved in the clinical management of pelvic cancer.
