Clinical Applications of Nuclear Medicine Targeted Therapy
This book offers a practical and modern update on radioisotope therapy. Clinically oriented, it provides a thorough guide to patient management, with the latest indications and procedures for the current radioisotopic treatments. It addresses the clinical problems associated with each respective pathology, discussing the management of patients (diagnosis and non-radioisotope therapy), the radiopharmaceuticals available today, and the current radioisotopic procedures. Wherever possible, information on dosimetry is included at the end of each topic, together with a list of and comments on the most recent guidelines with their recommendations for radiometabolic therapy. The book is divided into...
Clinical Nuclear Medicine in Pediatrics
This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of pediatric nuclear medicine, encompassing both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Detailed attention is paid to the role of FDG PET-CT within oncology, but a variety of other long-established or less frequently used diagnostic procedures are also covered. Each indication is critically discussed from a clinical perspective, with analysis of benefits and limitations and comparison against the information yield of alternative techniques. The coverage of therapy based on radiopharmaceuticals includes the most relevant current strategies, including those utilizing radioiodine, MIBG, or radiolabelled peptides. In addition, issues concerning the radiation risk of nuclear medicine procedures in children are addressed. All chapters have been written by international experts and include the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information.
Nuclear Oncology
This book discusses the role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with specific cancers. It presents the incidence, pathophysiologic and clinical aspects of the disease, the use of nuclear imaging in diagnosis, staging requirements, management of specific tumors, and surveillance after primary treatment of cancers. It addresses the various diagnostic/therapeutic options that are currently available or are most likely to become available in the near future according to a prioritized approach, thereby keeping to a minimum the number of diagnostic imaging procedures the patient is expected to undergo. Topics include basic science, clinical applications, radio...
Advances in Nuclear Oncology
The diagnostic and therapeutic achievements in radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine instrumentation - PET, SPECT, MR, CT and their hypbrids PET-CT and SPECT-CT - are the result of the interdisciplinary research efforts of cell-biologists, chemists, pharmacologists, physicists, computer-scientists, engineers, nuclear medicine physicians, a
Multimodality Imaging and Intervention in Oncology
This book provides the reader with a focused review of multimodality imaging strategies (radiology and molecular imaging) in staging and re-staging the major types of cancer (i.e. thyroid, breast, colon-rectum, lung, prostate, pancreas, liver, head and neck, and hematological cancer), including rare neoplasms. In addition to presenting the possible diagnostic pathways for all oncologic diseases, the book identifies those interventions currently available in clinical practice (these being a branch of interventional radiology), while also examining and detailing molecular radiotherapy strategies. The work has an interdisciplinary appeal and, thanks to its highly informative and cutting-edge coverage, professionals as well as advanced students and residents in radiology, oncology and surgery will find it of particular interest.
Clinical Value of Hybrid PET/MRI, An Issue of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, E-Book
In this issue of MRI Clinics, guest editors Prof. Minerva Becker and Dr. Valentino Garibotto bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Clinical Value of Hybrid PET/MRI. Combined PET/MRI has significant advantages over other imaging methods—a lesser radiation dose, excellent soft tissue contrast, numerous radiotracers available for PET, and more, making it a good choice for diagnostics and staging, as well as surgical planning. In this issue, top experts explore these advantages and more, helping you make the most of this relatively new dual-imaging modality in your practice. Contains 10 relevant, practice-oriented topics including breast imaging using PET/MRI; abdominal imaging us...
A History of Radionuclide Studies in the UK
The British Nuclear Medicine Society celebrates its 50th Anniversary with this booklet, which reflects the research of many of the pioneers in the use of radionuclides for the diagnosis and therapy of human disease. Since 1949 there have been remarkable advances in radionuclide techniques and imaging equipment: from the first devices “home-made” in the many physics departments throughout the UK, to the sophisticated multimodality imagers now in everyday use in Nuclear Medicine. The BNMS has been instrumental in promoting the use of radionuclide techniques in the investigation of pathology by supporting and providing education, research and guidelines on the optimum use of radiation to help patients. The future of Nuclear Medicine is bright, thanks to improved imaging resolution, new radiopharmaceuticals, and new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and procedures.
Transpathology
Transpathology: Molecular Imaging-Based Pathology is a multidisciplinary reference on molecular imaging and pathology. The book is intended for professionals in the fields of molecular imaging, nuclear medicine, radiology, and pathology as well as students and clinical residents. The book describes the importance of non-invasive diagnosis-based precision medicine and presents a detailed description of current transpathological approaches in different aspects essential for the future development of precision medicine. It’s molecular imaging approach to experimental research and clinical practice will drive the field forward and improve research outcomes. Introduces a new concept of molecular imaging-guided precise biopsy Links in vivo and ex vivo information at various scales by using multi-modality imaging technologies Integrates future technologies for the non-invasive cross-validation of underlying mechanisms
Radiology-Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Imaging
Radiology-Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Imaging “p>Radiology-Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Imaging: A Correlative Approach provides in-depth guidance on applying the principles of radiologic-nuclear medicine correlation to the interpretation of imaging for diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive indications. Describing the clinical implications of all major imaging modalities, this comprehensive professional reference offers one-stop coverage of the common diagnostic applications encountered by nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists in day-to-day practice. The book develops the nuclear diagnostic skills necessary to interpret combined imaging modalities and correlate radiologic findings u...
Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine and Radionuclide Therapy
Nuclear medicine is a medical imaging specialty involving the use of radioactive compounds for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. As a medical branch, it is considered part of Diagnostic Imaging, but differs substantially from Radiology with respect to the source of the radiation made visible by the diagnostic devices. Nuclear medicine adopts also some types of radioactive emissions for therapeutic purposes, allowing the employment of the metabolic properties of the radiopharmaceuticals for the cure of certain clinical conditions and malignant diseases. Nuclear medicine is a relatively recent discipline and owes its origins to the discovery of natural radioactivity and the development of t...
