{"product_id":"9781626232693","title":"MRI of the Prostate: A Practical Approach","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the USA, it can be treated successfully if detected early. Disease management has gradually changed to a paradigm that relies on close monitoring through active surveillance in select patients, as well as ongoing refinements in treatment interventions, including minimally invasive procedures. This has resulted in a critical need for a more exacting methodology for performing targeted biopsies, assessing risk levels, and devising treatment strategies. Prostate MRI has emerged as the most precise, state-of-the-art imaging modality for prostate cancer diagnosis and management, thereby creating an immediate demand for radiologists to become proficient in its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConceived and edited by a leading authority, with contributions from renowned experts in the field, \u003cem\u003eMRI of the Prostate: A Practical Approach\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to tackle this important topic.
