Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging offers complete coverage of
this exciting and key area of biomedicine, seamlessly fusing the
science behind nuclear medicine with the clinical aspects of
diagnostic imaging. Beginning with sections on the physics related
to nuclear medicine, radiation biology/safety, and
instrumentation/quality control, it then covers radiochemistry and
the development of new radionuclide therapy/tracers, and basic
techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The focus then shifts
to the clinical aspects, with sections on clinical/preclinical
nuclear imaging (structured via organ system such as
gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, etc.), as well as
other in vivo molecular imaging techniques such as optical imaging,
digital image analysis (radiomics), as well as the increasing use
of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics. No other
publication provides such a complete overview of the field, with
most choosing to focus either on physics or imaging. In most cases,
preclinical/experimental imaging is treated separately from
clinical imaging. Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging brings it
all together into a complete, 4-volume, foundational resource for
researchers and medical professionals specializing in this exciting
area.
This book contains the original manuscripts, with summaries and diagnostic flow-charts, of speakers of the EANM 2001 post-congress meeting held in Capri, Italy, which examined management issues of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, orthopaedic infections, vascular prosthesis infection, FUO and endocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurological infections. Nuclear medicine doctors attended together with radiologists and clinical specialists from different fields (gastroenterologists, orthopaedics, vascular surgeons, internal medicine doctors, rheumatologists, neurologists). The topics discussed in the book are of great importance for clinicians, nuclear medicine doctors and radiologists. At the end of each chapter, the commonly agreed diagnostic flow-charts for the management of patients with inflammation/infection are published.
This atlas explores the latest advances in radionuclide imaging in
the field of inflammatory diseases and infections, which now
typically includes multimodality fusion imaging (e.g. in SPECT/CT
and in PET/CT). In addition to describing the pathophysiologic and
molecular mechanisms on which the radionuclide imaging of
infection/inflammation is based, the clinical relevance and impact
of such procedures are demonstrated in a collection of richly
illustrated teaching cases, which describe the most commonly
observed scintigraphic patterns, as well as anatomic variants and
technical pitfalls. Special emphasis is placed on using tomographic
multimodality imaging to increase both the sensitivity and
specificity of radionuclide imaging. The aim of the second edition
of this book is to update the first (published in 2013) by
reflecting the changes in this rapidly evolving field. Particular
attention is paid to the latest advances in the radionuclide
imaging of infection and inflammation, including the expanding role
of hybrid imaging with [18F]FDG PET/CT SPECT/CT, without neglecting
new radiotracers proposed for the imaging of
infection/inflammation. Written by respected experts in the field,
the book will be an invaluable tool for residents in nuclear
medicine, as well as for other specialists.
This atlas fills a gap in the literature by documenting in detail
the role of nuclear medicine imaging of infection and inflammation.
The pathophysiologic and molecular mechanisms on which radionuclide
imaging of infection/inflammation is based are clearly explained,
but the prime focus of the book is on the clinical relevance of
such procedures. Their impact is demonstrated by a collection of
richly illustrated teaching cases that describe the most commonly
observed scintigraphic patterns, as well as anatomic variants and
technical pitfalls. Due attention is paid to the application of
recently developed techniques, including multimodality fusion
imaging such as SPECT/CT and PET/CT. Emphasis is placed in
particular on the ability of multimodality imaging to increase both
the sensitivity and the specificity of radionuclide imaging. This
atlas will be an excellent learning tool for residents in nuclear
medicine and illuminating for other specialists with an interest in
the field.
