The long-awaited third edition of An Atlas of Clinical Nuclear Medicine has been revised and updated to encapsulate the developments in the field since the previous edition was published nearly two decades ago. Highlights of the Third Edition: Adopts a structured format throughout for quick assimilation Includes expanded coverage of new radiopharmaceuticals, PET/CT, and SPECT/CT Contains new chapters on paediatrics, oncology, and infection imaging Presents a comprehensive set of top-quality nuclear image scans Provides helpful teaching points The previous editions of this book received various awards, including Honorable Mention from the Association of American Publishers in 1988 and the Glaxo Prize for Medical Writing in 1989. This foundation has been built upon and expanded to provide the ultimate guide for beginners, those in training, and experienced practitioners.
This book, written by authors with national and international reputations in the field, covers all aspects of radionuclide and hybrid bone imaging. Introductory sections present the basic science and consider the current status and limitations of conventional radiological techniques. The underlying principles of PET-CT and SPECT-CT are carefully explained, and the value of different PET and SPECT tracers, assessed. The role of single- and dual-modality approaches in the imaging of benign bone diseases and malignancies is then discussed in detail in a series of well-illustrated chapters. The pathologies addressed include metabolic bone disease, arthritis, bone and joint infections, primary bone and soft tissue tumors, and metastases from breast and prostate cancer. A further section considers the role of bone scintigraphy in the pediatric patient, and the closing chapters focus on miscellaneous subjects, including bone densitometry and radionuclide targeted therapy.
Describes the latest SPECT (single proton emission computer tomography) application. This book is an introduction to this modality for the radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists coming to SPECT for the first time.
Part of a series intended to present the clinical utility of nuclear medicine to doctors, this book is a guide for clinicians interested in the radioactive tracer method. Exploring oncology, bone scanning and trauma, this text includes discussions of clinical case materials.
This is a comprehensive review of the two techniques of DXA and ultrasound. Both are used to measure bone density and thus predict the likelihood of osteoporosis or to assess its severity. The use of DXA has become universally accepted as a routine test of bone density in recent years. Many technical advances have occurred, particularly in the speed of examination, and these are fully described. This book provides the reader with a full explanation of the procedures involved in and the advantages of both DXA and ultrasound. It is essential reading for all clinicians and technicians involved in the diagnosis, treatment and study of bone disease.
This book discusses the clinical applications of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry for bone mineral measurement. The accuracy of the modality in determining bone mineral composition has proved invaluable in metabolic bone disorders and in determining the onset of osteoporosis. Written by two experts in the field, this text reflects their combined experience of technique and clinical application. It is intended for radiologists, rheumatologists and orthopaedic surgeons.
