Further Details About This Book:
Nuclear medicine includes sophisticated imaging technology. It encompasses a
complex integration of physics, chemistry, radiation safety, physiology, pathophysiology,
pathology, histology, radiology, internal medicine, endocrinology, hematology,
radiation oncology, cardiology, and other disciplines in the form of a single
image. Each radiotracer has a specifi c distribution which may result in an identifi -
able imaging characteristic. The same radiotracer can be tailored for different clinical
indications by changing the route of administration and sequence of imaging.
Understanding the mechanism, distribution, and clearance of radiotracers may be
challenging.
This book offers a unique summary of facts in nuclear medicine associated with
colorful illustrations and variety of images to allow for:
• Fast learning of physical, chemical characteristics and distribution of each commonly
used radiotracer and radiopharmaceuticals.
• Recalling essential facts for each radiopharmaceutical that may be used in everyday
practice by radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians, residents, and students
in training and for board examinations (as fl ash cards).
• Identifi cation of patterns of abnormal tracer distribution to allow narrowed differential
diagnosis.
