Focusing on orthopedic nuclear medicine, this revised edition provides an in-depth exploration of recent advancements and the diagnosis of lesser-known conditions through imaging. It covers essential concepts in anatomy, physiology, pathology, and techniques relevant to clinical practice. Detailed discussions on diagnosing skeletal infections, trauma, and various bone diseases are included, along with new insights into managing bone tumors and prostate cancer metastases. Richly illustrated, this resource is invaluable for orthopedists, radiologists, and other medical professionals involved in diagnostic imaging.

Focusing on diagnostic scintigraphy, this second edition serves as a quick reference for understanding imaging patterns and selecting treatment modalities. It covers anatomical and physiological considerations for each organ system, linking them to relevant diseases and their scintigraphic features. The book includes 13 chapters that address basic pathophysiology, cell biology, and the effects of ionizing radiation, making it a valuable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners in clinical and research settings.

The second edition of this book has been significantly expanded to meet the demands of the increasing new trend of molecular imaging. A separate chapter on the basis of FDG uptake has been added. New to this edition are the more clinically oriented details on scintigraphic studies, their strengths and limitations in relation to other modalities. It further contains many new images, illustrations and tables.
