Nuclear Medicine: Imaging and Therapy

Nuclear Medicine: Imaging and Therapy provides nuclear medicine physicians with a comprehensive guide to diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications of radiopharmaceuticals. This authoritative text covers PET, SPECT, and hybrid imaging modalities alongside rapidly evolving theranostic approaches.

The book addresses imaging physics, radiopharmaceutical chemistry, and clinical applications across oncology, cardiology, neurology, and endocrinology. Each chapter presents imaging protocols, interpretation criteria, and clinical decision-making algorithms.

Special sections cover emerging theranostic applications including lutetium-177 PSMA therapy for prostate cancer, radioiodine therapy for thyroid disease, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy for neuroendocrine tumors. The text also addresses radiation safety and quality assurance.

Written by leading nuclear medicine specialists from major academic centers, this volume serves as an essential reference for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists, and trainees seeking comprehensive coverage of modern nuclear medicine practice.
