Produktbeschreibung

Edited by Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel, two leading authorities in the field of nuclear medicine, this practical guide is a reference source of cases for images obtained on state-of-the-art integrated PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging systems. The cases are presented in-depth so that they will be of value to residents training in nuclear medicine and radiology and to nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists who need to become familiar with this technology. Internationally recognized contributors provide the reader with in-depth coverage on the technical and clinical aspects of hybrid imaging. Principles of hybrid imaging, physics and instrumentation, normal distribution of radiopharmaceuticals and protocols central to the field are covered. A comprehensive review of nuclear oncology cases found in everyday practice, ranging from simple to complex are also addressed. The full spectrum of clinical applications is covered including head and neck tumors, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and genitourinary tumors. Additional chapters examine cardiac hybrid imaging, benign bone diseases and infection and inflammation. A wealth of illustrations reinforce the key teaching points discussed throughout the book.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The book comprises 760 pages divided into three sections. ... give in a single volume the whole information on all issues concerning hybrid machines, both PET/CT and SPECT/CT. This goal has been substantially reached ... . The editorial work by Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel has produced an easily readable and understandable practical guide for nuclear physicians and radiologists, being also useful for residents and students. This book can also be suggested to referring physicians interested in better understanding the information achievable with hybrid machines." (Maria Rosaria Prisco and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 38, 2011)

"Internationally recognized contributors describe the technical and clinical aspects of hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT in this book and provide a comprehensive review of nuclear oncology cases found in everyday practice. ... I highly recommend this book to nuclear physicians, radiologists, trainees, and those with an interest in hybrid imaging. This book will also be helpful to referring physicians interested in learning more about how this new medical imaging can be applied to their patients." (E. Edmund Kim, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 51 (9), September, 2010)
