Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases

Including Gamma Correction Interpretation

Beschreibung

In the fifth edition of this highly successful book, the author once again aims to equip the reader with up-to-date information that will facilitate accurate diagnosis of bone and joint diseases by means of combined use of scintigraphy and radiology. Two entirely new chapters have been added, one on the use of 18F-NaF PET/CT and the other on gamma correction scan diagnosis of bone trabecular microfracture and microcontusion as well as bone edema and hemorrhage. Further topics covered for the first time include enthesopathies, myositis, soft tissue diseases, cryptic bones, and differential diagnosis. Individual chapters have been updated and rearranged to reflect the latest advances in imaging diagnosis. As before, a vast number of state of the art gamma correction pinhole bone scans and corroborative conventional radiographs and CT, MRI, and/or ultrasound images are presented side by side. In this new edition, extension of the application of gamma correction to other imaging methodssuch as MRI and CT and the solution of the halation problem are necessarily addressed. This fifth edition of Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases will be essential reading for practitioners and researchers in nuclear medicine, radiology, orthopedic surgery, pathology, anatomy, and imaging sciences at large.

Rezensionen

"This is a good overview of musculoskeletal nuclear medicine and plain film correlation, with excellent chapter structure, readability and excellent insights into the foundation techniques." (RAD Magazine , September, 2018)
"Professor Bahk's successful book, Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases, has contributed to the practical recognition of nuclear medicine imaging as an everlasting 'seeing is believing' type of science. ... Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases will be helpful and useful to practitioners and researchers in nuclear medicine, radiology, orthopedic surgery, pathology, anatomy, and the imaging sciences for the improved diagnosis of variable bone and joint diseases." (E. Edmund Kim, Journal of Nuclear Medicine JNM, December, 2018)
