Radionuclide Imaging of Infection and Inflammation
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-62177-3 (ISBN)
The aim of the second edition of this book is to update the first (published in 2013) by reflecting the changes in this rapidly evolving field. Particular attention is paid to the latest advances in the radionuclide imaging of infection and inflammation, including the expanding role of hybrid imaging with [18F]FDG PET/CT SPECT/CT, without neglecting new radiotracers proposed for the imaging of infection/inflammation.
Written by respected experts in the field, the book will be an invaluable tool for residents in nuclear medicine, as well as for other specialists.
