Radiology Of Infectious Diseases

This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious diseases. It starts with a general review of infectious diseases, including their classification, characteristics and epidemiology. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce the radionuclide imaging of 50 kinds of infectious diseases. Volume 1 covers 21 viral infections. Volume 2 has 29 chapters discussing 24 bacterial infections and 5 parasitic infections. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious diseases.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious and inflammatory diseases in central nervous system and spine. It starts with basic theory of infectious diseases, including pathological basis, laboratory diagnostic methods, and clinical imaging techniques. In following chapters, the authors firstly introduce the central nervous system infections related to respiratory, gastrointestinal, and contagious diseases. Then viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic and special infections in central nervous system and spine are presented with clinical cases. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality CT and MRI. The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

This user-friendly book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious and inflammatory diseases in heart and chest. It starts with a general review of infectious diseases, including pathogenesis and pathology-radiology correlations. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce clinical images of typical bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections in a wide range of clinical conditions and circumstances. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality CT and MRI for readers to correctly identify causes of abnormalities. The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art imaging in infectious and inflammatory diseases in head and neck. It starts with a brief introduction of infectious diseases in head and neck, including normal anatomy, classification, and laboratory diagnostic methods. In separate parts of eye, ear, nose, pharynx, larynx, and maxillofacial region, the common imaging techniques and imaging anatomy is firstly introduced, and then typical infectious and inflammatory diseases is presented with clinical cases. Each disease is clearly illustrated with PET and MR images and key diagnostic points. The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

This books brings together multi-disciplinary expertise to provide comprehensive information about molecular imaging of infectious diseases. Also described are the development of new imaging technologies for infectious disease and their translation to the clinic. The overall goal of Imaging Infections: From Bench to Bedside is to spur interest and innovation in this emerging field. We anticipate that these technologies will not only allow unique insights into understanding pathogenesis of infections but also expedite bench-to-bedside translation of new therapeutics. While molecular imaging is already in common use in the clinic, this book demonstrates how it could also become a valuable tool for clinical studies, patient care, public health, and for enabling precision medicine for infectious diseases.

This book offers a systematic coverage of diagnostic imaging in infectious and inflammatory diseases in musculoskeletal system. The first part is devoted to a general review of infectious diseases in musculoskeletal system, as well as pathogenic classification, imaging techniques, pathogenic and imaging characteristics. In the following parts, imaging interpretation of typical infectious and inflammatory diseases affecting bone, joint, and soft tissue is described. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-resolution CT, MRI and PET. The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious and inflammatory diseases.

This book introduces the diagnosis of Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs), including newly emerging infectious diseases and also infectious diseases that show resistance to present treatments. Radiographic examinations are of great value in EIDs diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment efficacy assessment and prognosis evaluation. This book covers severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), human avian influenza (H5N1, H7N9), influenza A (H1N1), hand-foot-mouth disease, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), viral hepatitis, pulmonary tuberculosis. All seven of these EIDs are associated with high incidence and mortality. This book details the imaging techniques, radiological appearance and characteristics of EIDs, and diagnosis and differential diagnosis of EID-related complications. Considering the unique and in some cases only partially understood nature of EIDs, appropriate space is provided in this book for the detailed explanation of the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and signs, laboratory tests, clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and prognosis of EIDs. As such, it will be a valuable resource for improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of EIDs. Editors Pu-Xuan Lu and Bo-Ping Zhou are professors at Shenzhen Third People's Hospital, Guangdong Medical College, China.

The World Health Organization stated that approximately two-thirds of the world’s population lacks adequate access to medical imaging. The scarcity of imaging services in developing regions contributes to a widening disparity of health care and limits global public health programs that require imaging. Radiology is an important component of many global health programs, including those that address tuberculosis, AIDS-related disease, trauma, occupational and environmental exposures, breast cancer screening, and maternal-infant health care. There is a growing need for medical imaging in global health efforts and humanitarian outreach, particularly as an increasing number of academic, government, and non-governmental organizations expand delivery of health care to disadvantaged people worldwide. To systematically deploy clinical imaging services to low-resource settings requires contributions from a variety of disciplines such as clinical radiology, epidemiology, public health, finance, radiation physics, information technology, engineering, and others. This book will review critical concepts for those interested in managing, establishing, or participating in a medical imaging program for resource-limited environments and diverse cross-cultural contexts undergoing imaging technology adaptation.
