Elastography Current Insights And Applications

Elastography - Current Insights and Applications

The book Elastography - Current Insights and Applications aims to consolidate specific information and updates about elastography in general and abdominal pathologies specifically. The concept of elastography has been most widely explored for assessing liver fibrosis. However, multiple other domains, including focal liver lesions, endoscopic ultrasound elastography, and pancreatic elastography, are less explored. The book covers key concepts of bioethical principles, techniques, and recent updates on such areas of elastography in abdominal pathologies. We hope this book helps to enlighten the readers about these aspects of elastography.

Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments

Limitations of angiography, the traditional invasive method for assessing vascular pathology, have led to an interest in alternative invasive techniques that visualize the arterial wall and allow characterization of plaque type. These alternative techniques, which include intravascular ultrasound, angioscopy, thermography, optical coherence tomography, near infrared spectroscopy, and intravascular magnetic resonance imaging are able to provide valuable information regarding plaque vulnerability, the composition of plaque, and luminal morphology. Intravascular Imaging: Current Applications and Research Developments presents all available intravascular imaging techniques and analyzes their impact in clinical practice and research. This publication aims to inform medical specialists, biomedical engineers, bioinfomaticians, and researchers of current developments and future trends in intravascular imaging techniques, promoting continued evolution of this discipline.
