DESCRIPTION
Nuclear Oncology a contemporary narrative of the role of nuclear
medicine in oncology with an emphasis on SPECT/CT and PET/CT
with additional comments when appropriate on the potential application
of PET/MR and to a lesser degree, targeted radionuclide therapy. This
book focuses on the use of radionuclides in the diagnosis and treatment
of malignant diseases. It describes relevant approved and investigational
clinical applications, instrumentation & technology, chemistry and
practical clinical issues in nuclear oncology. The basic science and
current research topics of nuclear oncology are addressed in separate
chapters. Nuclear medicine has become an essential component to all
phases of the management of the patient with a malignant tumor and in
some cases, even benign neoplasms. The standard of practice for many
tumors requires PET/CT imaging at various stages of diagnosis and
management. In addition to clinical applications, ongoing investigational
efforts, which more and more involve multi-institutional protocols, are
also presented.

DESCRIPTION
Orthopedic Radiology: A Practical Approach has established itself
as a standard text in musculoskeletal imaging. Featuring over 4,000
illustrations and unique, effective pedagogy, this is the ideal teaching
text on musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists and orthopedists at
every level of training. It covers all orthopedic problems and imaging
modalities and offers indispensable guidance on selecting cost-effective
imaging techniques. Featured are PET-CT’s, CT, three-dimensional CT
scans for areas covering trauma, MRI, and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
Practical Points to Remember appear at the end of each chapter to
outline salient points.
