Description:
Thoroughly revised by a well-known nuclear medicine team, this
teaching file reference presents 234 cases and over 600 images
encompassing the gamut of procedures in contemporary clinical nuclear
medicine. This Second Edition features many new cases highlighting the
latest clinical and technological developments, including
state-of-the-art PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging in oncology and dramatic
advances in nuclear cardiology. Chapters present a variety of
cases, from simple to complex, covering each organ system and oncologic
imaging. Extensive correlative images using all relevant modalities
demonstrate the use of multimodality image analysis in solving clinical
problems. The final chapter focuses on common artifacts. Table of Contents: SECTION HEADINGS
