This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious diseases. It starts with a general review of infection diseases, including their classification, characteristics and epidemiology. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce the radionuclide imaging of 50 kinds of infectious diseases. Volume 1 covers 21 viral infections. Volume 2 has 29 chapters discussing 24 bacterial infections and 5 parasitic infections. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious diseases.
"This new ... is a welcome and timely contribution to the literature in the field. ... The chapters are well illustrated with pathological and radiological images and illustrative cases, and the references are a useful source of further reading. ... The contributors should be congratulated for producing this fine work of scholarship which will hopefully have a worldwide appeal, not only for radiologists but also physicians interested in this area of medicine."
