pet ct 2016 a case based approach
peter s. conti
this book presents original case studies performed on dedicated pet-ct devices and showcases common and uncommon cancers and the latest pet-ct applications for neurological, pediatric, and cardiovascular disorders. this authoritative book, now in its second edition, presents correlative three-dimensional cross-sectional pet and ct images that highlight pathological findings. each case example is accompanied by a concise explanation of the patient history and interpretation of the pet-ct study. "pearls and pitfalls" and insightful discussions are included to assist in the understanding of pathology, diagnosis, and imaging approaches. the book also discusses pathophysiology and technical artifacts and summarizes the advantages and limitations of using this technology in the clinical setting. pet-ct: a case-based approach, second edition, is a valuable resource for nuclear medicine practitioners, radiologists, and residents, as well as referring clinicians interested in learning more about how this imaging modality can be applied in their patient populations. peter s.
conti is a professor of radiology and the director of the pet imaging science center at the university of southern california, and is a fellow of both the american college of radiology and american college of nuclear physicians. he is a pioneer in the development of the clinical applications of pet and pet-ct.
radiopharmaceuticals for therapy 2016
ashutosh dash
this book provides detailed information on therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and discusses emerging technologies which have potential for broad clinical implementation. recent advances in molecular biology, radiopharmaceutical chemistry and radioisotope production have stimulated a new era for the use of radiopharmaceuticals for targeted radionuclide therapy (trt). emerging clinical trials include use of peptides and monoclonal antibodies radiolabeled with therapeutic radionuclides for cancer therapy. in addition, small molecules are used for the treatment of chronic diseases such as metastatic bone pain palliation and radiation synovectomy of inflammatory joints. in the interventional arena, therapy of primary and metastatic liver cancer and arterial restenosis following angioplasty of both the coronary and peripheral arteries are being explored. reactor and accelerator production of therapeutic radioisotopes is also integrated into these discussions. the development and use of radiopharmaceutical targeting characteristics required for treatment of specific disease processes and how these are implemented for radiopharmaceutical design strategies are also described.
radiopharmaceuticals for therapy will benefit audiences in nuclear medicine and radionuclide therapy and will thus prove an invaluable source of up-to-date information for students, radiopharmaceutical scientists and professionals working in the radiopharmacy and nuclear medicine specialties.

nuclear medicine practical physics artifacts and pitfalls 2
by daniel a. pryma
in contrast to most anatomic radiographic imaging techniques, nuclear medicine permits real time, non-invasive imaging of human physiology and pathophysiology and also allows for exquisite targeting of disease with therapeutic radiology. to open this window to the processes of human disease, one must first understand the physical processes behind radioactive decay and emission, as well the principles of radiation detection. practical nuclear medicine physics provides residents and practitioners in nuclear medicine and radiology a readable explanation of the physics concepts underpinning nuclear imaging and how they impact the utilization and interpretation of those images. following a brief introductory section, the book provides numerous case examples, illustrating various imaging artifacts and pitfalls that can be recognized and remedied with a solid understanding of the physics behind the procedure. understanding and applying the physics behind nuclear medicine is essential to maximizing not only diagnostic and therapeutic accuracy for providing optimal patient care, but “practical physics” is a required portion of radiology residency education and a designated area of the board exams.
the pathophysiologic basis of nuclear medicine
by abdelhamid h. elgazzar (editor)
this book, now in its third edition, aims to promote a deeper understanding of the scientific and clinical basis of nuclear medicine and the new directions in medical imaging. the new edition has been revised and updated to reflect recent changes and to ensure that the contents are in line with likely future directions. the book starts by providing essential information on general pathophysiology, cell structure and cell biology as well as the mechanisms of radiopharmaceutical localization in different tissues and cells. the clinical applications of nuclear medicine are then presented in a series of chapters that cover every major organ system and relate the basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to the clinical utilization of various scintigraphic modalities. the therapeutic applications of nuclear medicine are discussed in a separate chapter, and the final chapter is devoted to the biologic effects of ionizing radiations, including radiation from medical procedures.
