Treves S.T. Pediatric Nuclear Medicine/PET

N.-Y.: Springer, 2007 - 572 p. This third edition of Pediatric Nuclear Medicine/PET incorporates
the major advances that have been made in nuclear medicine
in the recent past. The book is streamlined, up to date, and very
readable. Chapters on brain and cerebrospinal fluid imaging have
been combined; chapters on bone scintigraphy, Legg-Calvé-Perthes
syndrome, evaluation of growth centers, and mandibular asymmetry
have been consolidated into an excellent chapter on bone disorders;
and chapters on scrotal scintigraphy and dacryoscintigraphy
have been replaced with new, more focused chapters on PET and
oncologic imaging. Each chapter is organized around the concepts
of applicable radionuclides, imaging techniques, clinical applications,
and specific disease entities. There is a significant effort to
include correlative imaging in many of the chapters, and image
fusion is displayed liberally throughout the book.
