This book presents up-to-date information on the general principles of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine in the context of endocrinology.
The content is divided into six parts.
- Section I examines general aspects of radiopharmaceuticals, scintigraphy, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), radionuclide therapies and radioguided surgery.
- Section II discusses diagnostic applications in benign thyroid diseases and evaluation of thyroid nodules.
- Section III gives an overview of the management of parathyroid diseases.
- Section IV presents diagnostic techniques in well-differentiated thyroid cancer.
- Section V addresses procedures and therapy in adrenal benign and malignant disorders (phaechromocytomas and paragangliomas).
- Lastly, the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors are featured in Section VI.
Nuclear Medicine in Endocrine Disorders: Diagnosis and Therapy is intended for non-specialists in nuclear medicine working in the field of endocrinology, and is also a valuable resource for researchers and students.
