The various patterns of accumulation of radiotracers are related to specific
pathophysiologic changes. This volume takes this principle as a starting
point. The book, the first of its kind, provides a new approach to understanding
diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine by linking the pathophysiologic
changes of relevant disease processes to scintigraphy. This permits more
accurate identification of various imaging patterns with more meaningful
interpretation. Through the use of illustrations, charts and tables, this
link is presented simply and clearly. The book is intended not only for
nuclear physicians and technologists, but also for the referring physicians,
who will understand the effective utilization of nuclear medicine and its
impact on patient management.
