It offers the prospect of either increasing the radiation dose to target tissues while delivering a similar dose to organs at risk, or reducing the dose to organs at risk while maintaining the dose to target tissues.

Hyperthermia has been found to be of great benefit in combination with radiation therapy or chemotherapy in the management of patients with difficult and com plicated tumor problems. Radiation research has been directed towards heavy particle therapy and modification of the radiation response by either protecting or sensitizing agents.

A comprehensive overview of the current state of development in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). After an initial outline of the basic principles of the technique and a general description of flow phenomena, the individual chapters are devoted to a full range of technical considerations.

The aim of radiation protection standards is to make the radiation workplace as safe as is humanly possible. Therefore, individual organs are limited to dose equivalents low enough to ensure that the dose threshold values are not exceeded.

Hyperthermia has been found to be of great benefit in combination with radiation therapy or chemotherapy in the management of patients with difficult and com plicated tumor problems. Radiation research has been directed towards heavy particle therapy and modification of the radiation response by either protecting or sensitizing agents.

This is the third edition of a very successful book that originally emerged from the work of a committee set up by the European Society of Urogenital Radiology in 1994 to consider the safety of contrast media used for diagnostic imaging.
