A unique case-based approach to understanding nuclear medicine 176 cases and 1190 illustrations (many in full color) "They have implemented a compelling approach to the case-based format...In summary, you will love this book. It is thoughtfully constructed and reader focused. You will see manifest the inspiration and commitment of the two editors. Enjoy, learn and ultimately have an impact."-Norman J. Beauchamp, University of Washington (from the foreword) Nuclear Medicine Cases features 176 nuclear medicine and PET/CT cases grouped according to organ system. Each case includes presentation, findings, differential diagnosis, comments, pearls, and numerous images, many in full color. Covering a wide range of general clinical topics of interest to practicing imaging physicians, this well-illustrated reference guide covers endocrine, musculoskeletal, chest, genitourinary, gastrointestinal, lymphatic, CNS, renal, vascular cases and includes a separate section for pediatrics. The book's easy-to-navigate organization is specifically designed for use at the workstation. The concise quick-scan text, numerous images, and helpful icons and pearls speed and simplify the learning process. FEATURES: 176 cases and 1190 illustrations (many in full color) An icon-indicated grading system depicting the full spectrum of findings from common to rare and typical to unusual, and the consistent chapter organization make this the perfect workstation reference Emphasizes the latest diagnostic modalities Covers a wide range of clinical topicsAbout the McGraw-Hill Radiology SeriesThis innovative series offers indispensable workstation reference material for the practicing radiologist. Within this series is a full range of practical, clinically relevant works divided into three categories: * Patterns books: organized by modality, these books provide a pattern-based approach to constructing practical differential diagnosis* Variants books: structured by modality as well as anatomy, these graphic references aid the radiologist in reducing false-positive rates* Cases books: classic case presentations with an emphasis on differential diagnoses and clinical context

"Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology" provides detailed guidance on how to and how not to perform imaging studies so you can get the best image quality and avoid artifacts. Ami E. Iskandrian and the editorial team responsible for "Braunwald's Heart Disease" bring you the most clinically relevant, case-based, evidence-based, practical, and contemporary atlas of nuclear cardiology. High-quality, full-color images ensure that you get the possible results.

Thoroughly revised by a well-known nuclear medicine team, this teaching file reference presents 234 cases and over 600 images encompassing the gamut of procedures in contemporary clinical nuclear medicine. This Second Edition features many new cases highlighting the latest clinical and technological developments, including state-of-the-art PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging in oncology and dramatic advances in nuclear cardiology. Chapters present a variety of cases, from simple to complex, covering each organ system and oncologic imaging. Extensive correlative images using all relevant modalities demonstrate the use of multimodality image analysis in solving clinical problems. The final chapter focuses on common artifacts. A companion Website will offer an online image bank.

Authored by some of the world's preeminent authorities in its field, this new book represents today's best single source of guidance on nuclear imaging! It offers more details for each diagnosis, more representative images, more case data and more current references than any other reference tool. At the same time, its user-friendly format lets you access all of this information remarkably quickly!

For more than two decades, this text has succinctly presented the procedures and technologies related to an ever-changing specialty. This 6th edition continues that tradition by providing a general update of all chapters, a new chapter on CT physics and instrumentation, and a revised focus to the increasingly important PET/CT systems. All aspects of nuclear medicine are explored, with a focus on pertinent anatomy and physiology and a discussion of each procedure in relation to the specific use of radiopharmaceuticals and instruments required.

The third edition of this book has been comprehensively rewritten and rearranged. In addition to the bone and joint diseases described in the two earlier editions, it now encompasses hitherto unpublished novel applications of pinhole scanning to the diagnosis of a broader spectrum of skeletal disorders. The book has been considerably expanded to discuss five new themes and is complemented by the addition of some 90 recently acquired cases.

From a distinguished author comes this new edition for technologists, practitioners, residents, and students in radiology and nuclear medicine. Encompassing major topics in nuclear medicine from the basic physics of radioactive decay to instrumentation and radiobiology, it is an ideal review for Board and Registry examinations. The material is well organized and written with clarity. The book is supplemented with tables and illustrations throughout. It provides a quick reference book that is concise but comprehensive, and offers a complete discussion of topics for the nuclear medicine and radiology physician in training.

This book is an essential guide for all practitioners. The emphasis throughout is on the practice of nuclear medicine. Primarily aimed at the radiologist, physician, physicist or technologist starting in nuclear medicine, it will also appeal to more experienced practitioners who are keen to stay up-to-date. The practical approach with tables as "recipes" for acquisition protocols means it is essential for any departmental shelf. 3rd edition expanded - now covering areas of development in nuclear medicine, such as PET and other methods of tumour imaging, data processing. All illustrations are up-to-date to reflect current standards of image quality.

"The Year Book of Nuclear Medicine" brings you abstracts of the articles that reported the year's breakthrough developments in nuclear medicine, carefully selected from more than 500 journals worldwide. Expert commentaries evaluate the clinical importance of each article and discuss its application to your practice. There's no faster or easier way to stay informed! Chapters in this annual cover the most current information on all aspects of nuclear medicine. Hot topics in the "2002 Year Book" include: Imaging in patients with dementia, scintigraphy and renography in infants and children, the use of PET for diagnosis and staging of esophageal cancer, stress-gated TC-99m sestamibi SPECT, and streak artifact reduction in filtered backprojection. "The Year Book of Nuclear Medicine" is published annually in June.

This definitive and comprehensive 2 volume text-reference book is essential reading for those who are primarily involved in the practice of nuclear medicine. Over 180 contributors, all of them internationally recognized authorities, focus on current and newly available radionuclide techniques and directly apply them to clinical practice. Covering all of the major body systems and organs in which nuclear medicine procedures are used, the book takes a disease oriented approach and this new edition features the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities used in the detection and treatment of cancer, heart disease, neurologic disorders, trauma and other common and less common diseases. There are major revisions: new chapters in the areas of brain imaging, movement disorders, stroke, lymphoma therapy, bone density, non-neurologic drug discovery, molecular imaging, cost/benefit analysis.
