New eBook: Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

Posted on by

Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is a new 4-volume set that offers complete coverage of the science behind nuclear medicine with the clinical aspects of diagnostic imaging. Beginning with sections on the physics related to nuclear medicine, radiation biology/safety, and instrumentation/quality control, it then covers radiochemistry and the development of new radionuclide therapy/tracers, and basic techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). 

Content also includes clinical aspects, with sections on clinical/preclinical nuclear imaging, as well as other in vivo molecular imaging techniques such as optical imaging, digital image analysis (radiomics), as well as the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics.

New eBook – Rodak’s Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications

Posted on by

Rodak’s Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, 6th Edition uses nearly 700 full-color photomicrographs to help you understand the essentials of hematology. This new edition shows how to identify cells, simplifies hemostasis and thrombosis concepts, and covers normal hematopoiesis through diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid, and megakaryocytic origins. This text also covers key topics including working in a hematology lab; complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and molecular diagnostics; the parts and functions of the cell; and laboratory testing of blood cells and body fluid cells.

New eJournal – Radiology: Artificial Intelligence

Posted on by

The Library now subscribes to the journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, published by the Radiological Society of North America. This eJournal highlights the emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the field of imaging across multiple disciplines.

Other ideas and concepts covered include education about AI, AI’s role to educate radiologists, referring providers, and patients, and the ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding AI.
