Ideal for residency, clinical rotations, and board review, this compact and authoritative volume by Drs. Janis O'Malley and Harvey Ziessman covers the conceptual, factual, and interpretive information you need to know for success on exams and in clinical practice.
NEW to this edition:
- More content on molecular imaging and the latest advances in clinical applications, including positron emission tomography (PET), SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and PET/MRI hybrid imaging.
- Inclusion of newly approved tracers such as Ga68 DOTA, F-18 amyloid, and F-18 PSMA.
- Expanded and integrated content on physics and non-interpretive aspects, including regulatory issues, radiation safety, and quality control.
- Up-to-date applications of nuclear medicine in the endocrine, skeletal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, central nervous, and cardiac systems, as well as PET applications for oncology.
In the outstanding Requisites tradition, the 5th Edition also:
