Contains 10 practice-oriented topics including fluoroestradiol imaging of ER+ breast cancer; advances in imaging to aid segmentectomy for lung cancer; 3D computed tomography reconstruction and printing to aid surgical planning; molecular imaging of head and neck cancer; contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound of the liver; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on oncology imaging, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

Digital technologies are changing the way that surgeons operate. They are revolutionizing the ability of surgeons to visualize, plan, and create rapid prototyped models and patient- specific implants for the broad disciplines of ENT, plastic, oral and maxillofacial surgeons. This book provides information on the latest digital technologies available for craniomaxillofacial surgery, discussing how this technology allows for preplanned procedures with improved and superior outcomes. Rather than improvise during surgery, surgery and its procedures can be preconceptualized with superior outcomes and decreased patient morbidity.
