Summary
This text-atlas focusses on anatomy and procedural strategy for perfusion CT imaging in the diagnosis and management of cancer. It uses a combination of scans and schematic diagrams to illustrate how this new modality can be used to assess anatomy and guide therapeutic interventions. The book commences with an introductory section that discusses the state of the art and background support (including software) in the use of perfusion computed tomography; there then follows chapters that review applications for each of the main body systems and anatomic regions. The book concludes with a section on the uses of perfusion CT in monitoring clinical trials, and also reviews applications for combined modalities like CT/PET.
