Nuclear Medicine in Clinical Practice: 100 Self-Assessment Case Studies (A Hodder Arnold Publication)

This is a diagnostic teaching manual for radiologists being trained on the techniques and applications of nuclear imaging. It also appeals to clinicians in various disciplines, such as cardiology and endocrinology, who need to learn as much as possible on the scope and potential of nuclear imaging as a diagnostic tool. Furthermore, the book may be of use to FRCR and DMRD candidates, and to those attending training courses. All sections are system-based and contain cases to illustrate straightforward and complex applications of nuclear imaging. All examples carry full data of case history, imaging methodology, results and further investigations where applicable. There is also a brief introductory chapter on fundamental disgnostic issues, such as sensitivity, specificity and criteria for choosing the appropriate imaging technique. A selected bibliography is included at the end of each "system" section.
