Master the latest imaging procedures and technologies in nuclear medicine! Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging: Technology and Techniques, 9th Edition provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art information on all aspects of nuclear medicine. Coverage of body systems includes anatomy and physiology, along with details on how to perform and interpret related diagnostic procedures. The leading technologies — SPECT, PET, CT, MRI, and PET/CT — are presented with an emphasis on radiation safety and patient care.
Comprehensive coverage of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging makes this a complete resource. Accessible writing style simplifies topics, first introducing fundamentals and progressing to more complex concepts. Procedure boxes provide step-by-step instructions for clinical procedures and protocols so they can be performed with confidence. NEW! Full-color design provides clear and realistic examples of PET/CT scans seen in practice.
