Chest radiography is the most commonly perfonned diagnostic radiological exam- ination in the United States. More than 80 million chest radiographs are perfonned annually in the United States and this type of radiograph accounts for 30%-50% of the total volume of diagnostic studies. Standard chest radiographic examinations are difficult to optimize, primarily because of the seven-to tenfold greater attenuation of the mediastinum and heart than of the lungs. In order to obtain the best results, we must be able to see with distinct clarity the vascular markings of the lungs, particularly when these are superimposed on the rib cage, the bony structures, and the air-soft tissue interfaces of the mediastinum. The large variation in attenuation caused by the mediastinal structures cannot be recorded routinely on a radiograph with maximum image contrast. The lungs are shaped like a truncated cone. The apices are volumetrically smaller than the bases and are crisscrossed by bony structures (the upper ribs, clavicle, and sometimes the scapula and manubrium of sternum). Often in women, the density of the breasts overlaps the lung bases, and X-rays must therefore traverse more tissue. Despite the cephalocaudal increase in tissue volume, it is possible in most in- stances to obtain a balanced density and contrast from the apices to the bases using the high kilovoltage peak (kVp) technique. Optimal image quality demands appro- priate resolution and contrast that will pennit the detection of pulmonary opacities and lucencies and of mediastinal and chest wall abnonnalities.

This manual is designed primarily to be of assistance to trainee nuclear medicine technicians and radiographers. It will also be of value to those who are already trained in the safe handling and use of radionuclides for imaging, as a rapid reference for routine and non-routine nuclear medicine imaging procedures. The procedures described were largely developed or modified at the Nuclear Medicine Department, Guy's Hospital, London, with regular updates during the last 10 years. The main body of each chapter deals with the technical aspects of radionuclide imaging and each chapter contains a section on the prepara tion procedure for the relevant radiopharmaceuticals used with brief summaries of the aim of any data analyses using a computer system. Although the methods described do not represent the only way to carry out such procedures, they have all been evaluated extensively and are known to give satisfactory results. I would like to record my thanks to all members of this department who have helped by providing advice, comments and data. In particular, I would like to thank Dr Colin Lazarus for his help with the radiopharmaceuticals sections. I am most grateful to Dr Sue Clarke and Dr Ignac Fogelman for checking the manuscripts and finally to Professor Michael Maisey without whose constant encouragement and support this work would not have been possible. FOREWORD The development of nuclear medicine was initially a slow process."

La colonna vertebrale rappresenta il distretto anatomico maggiormente sottoposto ad indagini di diagnostica per immagini e, in tale campo, gran parte del "vecchio" conserva tuttora la sua attualita. La radiologia convenzionale, infatti, mantiene spesso il ruolo di metodica imaging di approccio, frequentemente esaustiva al fine diagnostico nelle varie affezioni, dalla patologia malformativa a quella degenerativa o traumatica. Allo stesso modo la ricca semeiotica TC costituisce tuttora un corredo irrinunciabile per l'imaging del rachide, particolarmente utile nella definizione del danno nel trauma ad elevata energia.

Il "nuovo," invece, e rappresentato sia dalle nuove modalita di studio che il progresso tecnologico ha reso possibili (la TC spirale multistrato e la RM ortostatica ne costituiscono gli esempi piu promettenti) sia dal diverso approccio alla patologia vertebrale da parte del radiologo moderno, per il quale l'imaging non riveste piu il solo fine diagnostico ma costituisce anche un fondamentale strumento per la terapia interventistica.

Il volume si inserisce in questo contesto come valido strumento di aggiornamento professionale mirato per il radiologo, ma risulta inoltre un'utile opera di consultazione per l'ortopedico, il reumatologo e il fisiatra.
