Produktbeschreibung

This pioneering book, now in its fourth edition, presents the cutting-edge developments in pediatric nuclear medicine. Thoroughly revised and updated, it retains the fundamentals that anchor the book's distinguished reputation and includes the latest advances in PET/CT, SPECT, hybrid imaging, and molecular imaging. Pediatric Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Fourth Edition, is an excellent resource for nuclear medicine physicians, diagnostic radiologists, pediatricians, and residents and fellows.

The Fourth Edition features:

· 16 new chapters, including PET and PET/CT in Children and Young Adults; Lymphoscintigraphy; Skeletal Scintigraphy; Neuroblastoma; Lymphomas and Lymphoproliferative Disorders; Functional Imaging of Pediatric Musculoskeletal Tumors; Solid Tumors in Childhood; Pediatric Molecular Imaging; Combined PET/MRI in Childhood; Radiation Exposures; Radiation Protection in Pediatric Nuclear Medicine; and Dose Optimization in Pediatric Nuclear Medicine.

· Discussion of the use of image fusion and hybrid imaging in children.

· Strategies for communicating potential radiation risk to patients, families and members of the healthcare team.

· Methods to optimize pediatric radiopharmaceutical administered doses and improve image quality.

Rezensionen

"This is the most comprehensive text & atlas of pediatric nuclear imaging available. ... I recommend this book to residents, fellows, radiologists, nuclear physicians and graduate doctors alike." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2015)

"The main structure of the book has remained constant during the years, with the aim of covering all aspects concerning nuclear medicine in paediatrics ... . Treves' Pediatric Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging may be a valuable educational and informative resource for nuclear physicians, for students and for all the professionals involved in diagnostic imaging or in the care of paediatric patients." (Barbara Russo and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 42, 2015)
