Atlas of Hybrid Imaging Sectional Anatomy for PET/CT, PET/MRI and SPECT/CT Vol. 2: Thorax Abdomen and Pelvis: Sectional Anatomy for PET/CT, PET/MRI and SPECT/CT

Atlas of Hybrid Imaging of the Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis, Volume Two: Sectional Anatomy for PET/CT, PET/MRI and SPECT/CT provides a guide for interpreting PET and SPECT in relation to co-registered CT and/or MRI. In this atlas, exclusively dedicated to thorax, abdomen and pelvis, nuclear physicians and radiologists cover hybrid nuclear medicine based on their own case studies. The practical structure in two-page unit offers readers a navigational tool based on anatomical districts, with labeled and explained low-dose multiplanar CT or MRI views merged with PET fusion imaging on one side and enhanced CT or MRI on the other.
This new format enables the rapid identification of hybrid nuclear medicine findings which are now routine at leading medical centers. Each chapter begins with three-dimensional CT and/or MRI views of the evaluated anatomical region, bringing forward sectional tables. Clinical cases, tricks and pitfalls linked to several PET or SPECT radiopharmaceuticals help introduce the reader to peculiar molecular pathways and improve confidence in cross-sectional imaging that is vital for accurate diagnosis and treatments. Presents a compact, comprehensive, easy-to-read guide on sectional imaging and multiplanar evaluation of hybrid PET and SPECT Includes more than 200 fully colored, labeled, high quality original images of axial, coronal and sagittal CT, contrast enhanced CT, PET/CT and/or PET/MRI Displays clinical cases that showcase both common and unusual findings that nuclear physicians and radiologists could encounter in their clinical practice Provides specific text boxes that explain anatomical variants, radiological advices and physiological findings linked to tracer bio-distribution
