Nuclear Medicine No Responses »
Nov 082012

Nuclear medicine is an important component of modern medicine. This easy-to-use book is designed to acquaint readers with the basic principles of nuclear medicine, the instrumentation used, the gamut of procedures available, and the basis for selecting specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and interpreting results. After an introductory chapter on the history, technical basis, and scope of nuclear medicine, a series of chapters are devoted to the application of nuclear medicine techniques in the different body systems. In addition, the use of nuclear medicine methods within oncology is carefully examined, covering diagnosis, staging, assessment of treatment response, radiotherapy planning, and the sentinel node technique. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to nuclear medicine therapy. This practical and up-to-date guide to nuclear medicine is ideal for beginners and will also help professionals who need to retrieve useful information rapidly.

Nuclear Medicine Case Review

Nuclear Medicine No Responses »
Oct 212011

This new volume in the popular CASE REVIEW series is the ideal text to prepare for certification and CAQ exams and ensure an up-to-date mastery of the field. Approximately 200 case studies challenge the reader’s understanding to the radiologic interpretation and diagnosis for nuclear medicine. Each case study is followed by 3 or 4 questions that mimic the format of the certification exams. Answers and rationales are also provided. Three different difficulty levels test fundamental, intermediate, and advanced skills. The result is a focused and effective way for readers to hone their knowledge.

  • Features approximately 200 randomly organized cases which address topics such as scintigraphy, SPECT, and PET imaging · PET single pulmonary nodule · primary brain tumor · bullseye · and Alzheimer’s.
  • Provides 400 images for a realistic simulation of the challenges faced on the exams and in practice.
  • Organizes the questions and images on one side of the page, answers for the questions along with rationales, references and cross references on the flip side.
  • Cross Referenced to Thrall: Nuclear Medicine: The Requisites

Quantitative Analysis in Nuclear Medicine Imaging

Nuclear Medicine No Responses »
Feb 182009

This book provides a review of image analysis techniques as they are applied in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine. Driven in part by the remarkable increase in computing power and its ready and inexpensive availability, this is a relatively new yet rapidly expanding field. Likewise, although the use of radionuclides for diagnosis and therapy has origins dating back almost to the discovery of natural radioactivity itself, radionuclide therapy and, in particular, targeted radionuclide therapy has only recently emerged as a promising approach for therapy of cancer and, to a lesser extent, other diseases. As effort has, therefore, been made to place the reviews provided in this book in a broader context. The effort to do this is reflected by the inclusion of introductory chapters that address basic principles of nuclear medicine imaging, followed by overview of issues that are closely related to quantitative nuclear imaging and its potential role in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

The different chapters discuss the basic principles and various steps required for obtaining quantitatively accurate data from nuclear medicine images including data collection methods and algorithms used to correct them for physical degrading factors (e.g. collimator response, attenuation, scatter, partial volume effect), and image reconstruction algorithms (analytic, iterative) as well as image processing and analysis techniques as their clinical and research applications in neurology, cardiology and oncology. Some algorithms are described and illustrated with some useful features and clinical applications. Other potential applications of quantitative image analysis such as image-guided radiation therapy are also discussed
