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.

An internationally recognized team of editors and contributors present an authoritative, state-of-the-art reference on nuclear medicine and its clinical applications. They focus on helping the reader to solve the challenges encountered in day-to-day practice, including image interpretation, image optimization techniques, and pitfalls in image acquisition and interpretation. Over 4,400 illustrations, 803 in full color, comprise a comprehensive visual guide to interpretation. This new edition also incorporates three brand-new, full-color atlases-PET and PET/CT, SPECT and SPECT/CT, and a PET brain atlas-as well as many new full-color images (more than 800 in all)!
Completely revised and thoroughly updated throughout, the 3rd Edition encompasses of all of the latest advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available for cancer, heart disease, neurologic disorders, and trauma as well as other diseases, both common and rare.
