Beschreibung
Building on the traditional concept of nuclear medicine, this textbook presents cutting-edge concepts of hybrid imaging and discusses the close interactions between nuclear medicine and other clinical specialties, in order to achieve the best possible outcomes for patients.
Today the diagnostic applications of nuclear medicine are no longer stand-alone procedures, separate from other diagnostic imaging modalities. This is especially true for hybrid imaging guided interventional radiology or surgical procedures. Accordingly, today’s nuclear medicine specialists are actually specialists in multimodality imaging (in addition to their expertise in the diagnostic and therapeutic uses of radionuclides).
This new role requires a new core curriculum for training nuclear medicine specialists. This textbook is designed to meet these new educational needs, and to prepare nuclear physicians and technologists for careers in this exciting specialty.Shows all aspects of Nuclear Medicine, from the basic physics/chemistry to the underlying pathophysiologic bases.
Includes practical sections on the use of Nuclear Medicine imaging for each particular system/apparatus, correlating the role of each imaging modality with the course of a certain disease in its subsequent phases.
Presents a clinical application section organized by body-region/apparatus and disease. The clinical chapters also include indications on how to address different diseases.

“I like this book a lot and it provides excellent value.” (Peter Strouhal, RAD Magazine, May, 2020)
“This publication is ‘mandatory’ for training nuclear medicine specialists. The textbook is also useful for practitioners, physicists, radiochemists, technologists, nurses, clinicians and all the other professionals interested to adjourn in this wonderful and clinically relevant specialty. This publication absolutely must not fail in all the departments in which nuclear medicine is practiced.” (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 47, 2020)
