Nuclear Medicine/Radiology

The second edition covers groundbreaking developments in the field of nuclear medicine, focusing on the increasing use of hybrid imaging and revolutionary progress in radiochemistry and radiopharmacy, including topics like imaging of prostate cancer using PSMA ligands.

A comprehensive introductory text covering the fundamental physics principles essential for the practice of Nuclear Medicine, Medical Physics, and Radiology, focusing on radioisotopes and imaging technology.

A comprehensive review book designed to prepare students and technologists for the Nuclear Medicine Technology Registry Exam. The content covers essential areas including clinical nuclear medicine, physics, chemistry, computers, radiation safety, patient care, and radiopharmacy. It features extensive multiple-choice questions for practice, a review of important points for each area, and a full mock registry examination.

This book features more than 4000 review questions and answers across 9 chapters and 133 subsections. It is designed as a study guide and in-depth review tool for preparation for national and international nuclear medicine exams.

This publication details the Quality Management Audits in Nuclear Medicine Practices (QUANUM) programme, specifically version 3.0. It is designed to be an effective tool for integrating all aspects of quality management into modern nuclear medicine services and improving clinical practice within Member States.

Provides clear and concise clinical indications for PET/CT imaging technology in the management of oncology and non-oncology patients, specifically focusing on applications in brain disorders for better staging, tailored management, early and accurate diagnosis, and monitoring treatment responses.

This book covers scientific, clinical, and educational aspects of radiotheranostics in cancer control. It defines radiotheranostics, describes the history of radionuclide therapy, and examines the clinical applications of both unconjugated (such as 131I and 223Ra) and radionuclide-conjugated cancer-specific vectors. The volume presents the chemistry and physics of radionuclide production, discusses instrumentation aspects (calibration, quantitative imaging), and addresses the education, training, and competence of a radiotheranostic multidisciplinary team. It provides the foundations for the more advanced second volume focusing on dosimetric and radiation safety.

This book covers the clinical applications of nuclear medicine targeted therapy (targeted systemic radiotherapy), exploring the synergy between molecular imaging and the subsequent treatment of patients, which has been a cornerstone of Nuclear Medicine for many decades.

A comprehensive guide detailing the use of Bone SPECT/CT for imaging and diagnosing pathologies of the ankle and foot. The book explores how this technology offers new anatomical and pathological information, building upon traditional techniques such as standard X-rays, CT, and MRI.

An introductory educational resource covering the general concepts of radiopharmaceuticals and metabolic imaging, with a focus on the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the thyroid gland, including congenital disorders, hyperthyroidism, nodules, and cancer. Adrenal gland topics are outlined for subsequent lectures.

A comprehensive textbook detailing the fundamental principles of radioactivity, radionuclides, and radiopharmaceuticals used in clinical imaging. It covers the physics and application of diagnostic agents such as Fluorine-18 (FDG), Thallium-201, and Indium-111, and discusses imaging techniques and attenuation correction methodologies.

This book covers Medical Physics and Radiation Safety, integral components of radiation oncology, radio diagnosis, and nuclear medicine. It details technological developments, advances in electronics and computing for medical imaging (using both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation), and progress in radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It emphasizes critical radiation safety aspects when utilizing ionizing radiation.
