CASE-BASED NUCLEAR MEDICINE

Ideal for self-assessment, the second edition of Case-Based Nuclear Medicine has been fully updated to reflect the latest nuclear imaging technology, including cutting-edge cardiac imaging systems and the latest on PET/CT.

Each chapter is packed with high-quality images that demonstrate the full-range of commonly encountered disease manifestations as seen in the practice of nuclear medicine. The lavishly illustrated cases begin with the clinical presentation and a concise patient history followed by imaging findings, differential diagnoses, the definitive diagnosis and follow-up information, a brief discussion of the background for each diagnosis, and a list of pearls and pitfalls.

Features:

• Comprehensive coverage of everything from single photon emission computed tomography to PET/CT imaging

• Over 400 high-resolution images, including full-color PET/CT and cardiac scintigraphic images, document the cases
• Numerous tips, tricks, pearls, and pitfalls highlight key points at the end of each chapter
