Request a sales quoteCovering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, Diagnostic Imaging: Nuclear Medicine, fourth edition, is an invaluable, everyday resource for nuclear medicine physicians, general radiologists, and trainees—anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference on today’s rapidly changing nuclear medicine therapies. Drs. Jennifer Schroeder, Joanna R. Fair, and a new team of highly specialized authors provide up-to-date information in concise yet detailed chapters to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. They address the most appropriate nuclear medicine options available to answer specific clinical questions within the framework of all imaging modalities, making this edition a useful learning tool as well as a handy reference for daily practice.
- Reflects recent advances in the field with information on new FDA-approved imaging agents, new therapeutic agents, updates to available therapies and procedures with new interval data and guidelines, new imaging protocols, including perfusion-only examinations for evaluation of pulmonary embolisms, and more
- Features new and expanded information throughout, including treatment of progressive metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, benign and malignant thyroid disease, sentinel node mapping, lymphedema, and pediatric nuclear imaging
- Contains 20+ new chapters on pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, thyroid incidentaloma, adult fever of unknown origin, malignant peripheral nerve health tumor, paraneoplastic syndrome, and many more
- Features 2,000 high-quality print images (with an additional 500 images in the included eBook), many of which are new or updated, including pediatric imaging, oncologic imaging, radiologic images, full-color medical illustrations, and 3D renderings
- Covers the physics behind nuclear medicine with safety considerations for both patients and radiologists with new material on radiopharmaceutical IV infiltration
- Uses bulleted, succinct text and highly templated chapters to help you make informed decisions at the point of care
- Includes an eBook that allows you access to everything in the print version as well as additional images, text, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
