Baert A.L., Leuven K. Sartor, Heidelberg Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine

N.-Y.: Springer, 2006. - 355 p.
In this volume of the Medical Radiology series, imaging procedures in the nuclear
medicine fi eld are presented and put in perspective. The predicted demise of nuclear medicine as a separate imaging specialty has not
come true. On the contrary, multi-modality and molecular imaging are now in vogue.
The introduction of PET/CT in the work-up of patients with cancer is a prominent
new feature of this edition. Pharmacological interventions and new radiopharmaceuticals
have broadened the number of applications and increased the accuracy of
available tests. Hepato-biliary scintigraphy is now covered in a separate chapter.
