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 using a disease and organ-based approach to radiologic interpretation. Thematically organized sections explore a variety of pathologies including diseases of the head and neck, gastrointestinal tract, and pulmonary, endocrine, and central nervous system. Written by internationally recognized experts, this important resource:Helps physicians better understand the clinical and treatment implications of diseases with characteristic radiologic appearancesIncludes detailed descriptions of nuclear medicine presentations of diseases of most organ systems combined with radiologic correlationExplains refinement of differential diagnoses in various organ systems based on specific imaging featuresDemonstrates how to correlate scintigraphy and PET images with radiography, CT, MRI, and other imaging techniquesIncludes a timely review of the application of nuclear medicine-radiology correlative imaging in researchFeatures practical, hands-on clinical imaging references, and more than 600 color illustrations and high-resolution images throughout

Radiology-Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Imaging: A Correlative Approach is a must-have for both trainee and experienced radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and specialist nurses.
