This work would not have been possible without the consistent encouragement of my loving wife, Tracy, and our supportive children, Gabrielle, Lucas, and Delaney. A special acknowledgment goes to our beloved friend and colleague, Dr. Vladimir Mouraviev, who recently departed us but who worked to help patients and advance medical science until he succumbed to his own illness. A second pioneer who contributed tremendously to the advancement of imaging and soft tissue biopsies and has recently left us was Morgan W. Nields. Morgan possessed an enlightened entrepreneurial spirit and was a phenomenal liaison between clinicians, scientists, engineers, investors, and the industry. Both Morgan and Vlad contributed greatly to this textbook, and as it is their final contributions to education and inquiry, I dedicate it to their spirits and memories.
