    • English
    Osteoarthritis Health Professional Training Manual addresses current gaps in knowledge and the skills and confidence that are necessary to deliver evidence-based OA care that is consistent with international guidelines and for effective translation to clinical practice for health professionals. Written for health care professionals that meet patients with osteoarthritis in the clinic, like GPs, physiotherapists, rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, and MDs and PTs in training, medical students and basic researchers on osteoarthritis who want an update on the clinical aspects of OA, this book addresses the urgent need to improve health professional knowledge in managing patients with osteoarthritis.

  • Motion Correction in MR

    Correction of Position, Motion, and Dynamic Field Changes
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 6
    • Andre van der Kouwe + 1 more
    • English
    Motion Correction in MR: Correction of Position, Motion, and Dynamic Changes, Volume Eight provides a comprehensive survey of the state-of-the-art in motion detection and correction in magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The book describes the problem of correctly and consistently identifying and positioning the organ of interest and tracking it throughout the scan. The basic principles of how image artefacts arise because of position changes during scanning are described, along with retrospective and prospective techniques for eliminating these artefacts, including classical approaches and methods using machine learning. Internal navigator-based approaches as well as external systems for estimating motion are also presented, along with practical applications in each organ system and each MR modality covered. This book provides a technical basis for physicists and engineers to develop motion correction methods, giving guidance to technologists and radiologists for incorporating these methods in patient examinations.

  • Endocrine Hypertension
