- Provides all the information required for optimal use of nuclear medicine techniques
- Documents the normal imaging patterns and those of different diseases
- Explains the diagnostic role of each study
- Includes more than 250 case reviews
- Provides comparisons with other modalities
This book provides all the information required for the optimal use of nuclear medicine techniques, which are undergoing rapid development yet remain underutilized.
Each chapter focuses on one particular clinical system or disease area. The first section of each chapter illustrates normal patterns observed on commonly and uncommonly performed scans as a reference and explains when and how the procedures should be performed. The following section illustrates both the imaging patterns of different diseases and the diagnostic role of individual studies. Comparisons with other modalities are provided, and the rationale for and effective utilization of each study are discussed.
The volume includes near 250 case reviews. In addition, the normal patterns on relevant morphologic modalities are documented in an appendix. The book is directed at Nuclear Medicine physicians and technologists with different levels of training and expertise and also at radiologists who practice nuclear medicine and radiology residents.
