A book for men and women from middle age to advanced years who have suddenly and unexpectedly become confronted with the huge effects that the male prostate can have on the body. It is a tale of what can happen to both men and women when the prostate transforms over time as the body changes, free of any of the minor or major taboos surrounding those involved.The book presents both a subjective and an objective account, from a female and a male perspective, of what the prostate is and of the physical, psychological and social effects that changes to the prostate can bring as one ages or reaches old age. The latest medical, psychotherapeutic and social measures available to help men with prostate issues and their partners are discussed. It also addresses the therapeutic taboos that have previously prevented us from attempting a systemic approach to the physical, psychological and social transformation that men and women undergo when they reach middle age and beyond.

Biomedical imaging technologies, such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, MRI, or PET, are used to assess the present status of tissue for diagnosis, therapy assessment, and patient monitoring over time. Biomedical imaging focuses on the image capturing for medical analysis and treatment. Thanks to cutting-edge sensor and computer technology, images of in vivo physiology and physiological processes are now readily available. Medical imaging techniques, including X-rays, ultrasounds, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging, have revolutionized how humans diagnose diseases. Visual evaluation of scans is the most prevalent method of analyzing imaging data. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRT) is a non-invasive medical imaging test is a 3D imaging technique. Since MRT better contrasts soft tissues than CT, it is more useful in neurological (brain), musculoskeletal and oncological imaging.
