This comprehensive, practice-oriented overview of 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT presents disease-specific protocols, including summaries of relevant pathology and epidemiology. Coverage includes instructions for preparation of commercially available tracer kits.

^{99mTc-sestamibi is a single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radiotracer that is widely used for the imaging of myocardial perfusion, as well as a variety of malignant and benign diseases. ^99mTc-Sestamibi - Clinical Applications provides a detailed and informative overview of almost all the oncologic and non-oncologic applications of ^99mTc-sestamibi SPECT, including several relatively rare indications. Different disease-related protocols for ^99mTc-sestamibi SPECT are presented, and for each disease a comprehensive summary of the relevant pathology and epidemiology is provided. Throughout, there is a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of use of this popular tracer, including instructions for the preparation of several commercially available tracer kits. Clinical practitioners will find this book to be an invaluable guide to the application and benefits of ^99mTc-sestamibi SPECT in both the inpatient and the outpatient setting.}
