Beschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the practice of radioguided surgery. The opening section is devoted to the basic physics principles for detection and imaging, radiation detection device technology, principles of surgical navigation, radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals, and radiation safety. A series of chapters then address the clinical application of radioguided surgery for a variety of malignancies, including breast cancer, melanoma and other cutaneous malignancies, gynecologic malignancies, head and neck malignancies, thyroid cancer, urologic malignancies, colon cancer, gastroesophageal cancer, lung cancer, bone tumors, parathyroid adenomas, and neuroendocrine tumors. For each application, the recommended methodological approaches are discussed and the available cumulative clinical experiences of investigators from across the globe are reviewed. A conscious effort is made to highlight recent developments and innovative multidisciplinary approaches within each clinical area. Interesting issues and novel approaches are further explored through a collection of selected case reports at the end of the book. The contributing authors are all experts in their own fields, ensuring that the book will hold wide appeal for surgeons, surgical technologists, nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists, and various trainees.

“This book is a milestone in this field as it was written by world leading nuclear medicine imaging specialists and surgeons and thus benefits from the multidisciplinary contributions of experts sharing their personal experience to enhance the quality of the work. Therefore, the book is of the utmost interest to a wide audience, including all physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients, as well as general surgeons, nuclear medicine physicians, oncologists and pathologists.” (Giuseppe D. Di Stasio, Vincenzo Cuccurullo and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 44, 2017)
“This guide is fluent and easy to read, simple to understand even when dealing with complex issues, and enriched by explanatory images and tables. … this book represents a qualified, extensive, and updated text on the role of nuclearmedicine in the field of radioguided surgery. Therefore, we highly recommend this volume, not only to experts but also to residents, clinicians, and to everyone who wants to be introduced to this emerging topic.” (Andrea Skanjeti, Domenico Rubello and Francesco Giammarile, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 43, 2016)
