Description
The newest edition of the best selling Essentials of Nucelar Medicine Imaging! The cardiac and neoplasm
chapters have been thoroughly updated, there is more discussion and new images related both to gated cardiac SPECT and PET scanning for neoplasms, and the role of new technologies, such as CT
angiography for pulmonary embolism and fusion imaging, has also been included.
Get comprehensive coverage of key techniques such as PET/CT, cardiac-gated SPECT, and tumor-specific radionuclides, as well as Cerebrovascular System, Cardiovascular System, Conventional Neoplasm Imaging and Radioimmunotherapy, and Positron Emission Tomography Imaging.
Reference practical clinical guidance at a glance from important "Pearls and Pitfalls" in each chapter and. helpful appendices including Injection Techniques, Pediatric Dosages, Non-radioactive Pharmaceuticals, and many more
