Abstract:

Imaging tools in preventive cardiology can be divided into imaging modalities to assess pre-clinical and clinical atherosclerosis and functional assessments of vascular function or vascular inflammation. To calculate the likelihood of pre-clinical atherosclerosis intima-media thickness as well as coronary calcium scoring are most frequently used. However, beyond these two there are other parameters derived by ultrasound and multi-detector computed tomography as well as magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear/molecular imaging which are discussed in the chapter. Functional tests include flow-med

Abstract:

Sport-related concussion has been referred to as a functional rather than a structural injury with neurometabolic and microstructural alterations reported in several studies. Accordingly, conventional neuroimaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have limited value beyond ruling out structural injury such as a contusion or hemorrhage. This chapter presents a review of three neuroimaging techniques that offer insight into the connectivity and neurometabolic consequences of concussion. A number of studies have now been published using

Abstract:

The ability of ultrasound to elucidate the functional and structural abnormalities of pericardial disease is powerful. Due to multimodality imaging possibilities and to its portability, echocardiography is the technique of choice for the diagnosis of pericardial disease. Although other non-invasive technologies have been developed to provide information about the pericardium, echocardiography remains the first and often only diagnostic method needed to make a definitive diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment in patients with pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, or constrictive pericardi

Abstract:

Obstructive uropathy refers to the clinical sequelae of impairment of free urinary flow in the urological tract. The clinical manifestation of obstructive uropathy depends on the level and duration of obstruction, whether it is partial or complete, and whether infection has supervened. Obstruction may be clinically silent—and incidental radiological, biochemical, or examination findings may suggest the diagnosis. The radiological techniques used to demonstrate obstruction can be divided into anatomical and functional studies. These include ultrasound, urography, cross-sectional imaging, mictur

Achieving continence and normal voiding in children with primary epispadias can be difficult because of the dysplastic nature of their sphincteric and bladder neck tissues. Urachal anom
