With expert editorial direction and contributions from leaders in the field, the book guides readers through the maze of new technologies and procedures and explores the issues they raise in terms of scientific methodology. It gives readers a clear picture of the developments in diagnosis and treatment made possible by new technologies and the insight to resolve the issues involved in using them.
