2nd ed. 2020 Edition
by Hojjat Ahmadzadehfar (Editor), Hans-Jürgen Biersack (Editor), Leonard M. Freeman (Editor), Lionel S. Zuckier (Editor)
In the new edition of this very successful book, European and North
American experts present the state of the art in diagnostic and
therapeutic radionuclide procedures. The aim is to examine established
and emerging clinical applications in detail, rather than to consider
everything included in the comprehensive texts already available within
the field. This “practical” approach ensures that the book will be a
valuable guide for nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, students,
and interested clinicians alike. This edition of Clinical Nuclear Medicine
has been extensively revised to take account of recent developments.
The roles of SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and PET/MRI are clearly explained and
illustrated, and the coverage extended to encompass, for example, novel
PET tracers and therapeutic radionuclides, advanced techniques of brain
imaging, and the development of theranostics. Readers will be fully
persuaded of the ever-increasing value of nuclear medicine techniques in
depicting physiology and function and complementing anatomic modalities
such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
