Atlas of SPECT-CT

From the reviews: "It is a well written text which is easy to read and is full of useful information. ... The book is ... simple to follow. It would be suitable for all those involved in nuclear medicine at all levels of experience. It is an excellent introduction for those starting SPECT-CT or planning to expand their use of the hybrid systems. ... it is a teaching aid which is a pleasure to read as a textbook, and to review specific systems through the cases." (Alp Notghi, RAD Magazine, June, 2012) "Atlas of SPECT-CT ... collects a lot of very interesting contributions written by many expert nuclear medicine physicians in 13 chapters. They report with a very clear and simple language the technical basis and the main indications for SPECT/CT. ... represent a complete educational support for physicists, technologists, radiographers, fellows and students. The reading and understanding are very easy, since the textbook is well structured and the format is elegant and comfortable." (Emilio Bombardieri, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 39, 2012) "Aims to offer the reader know-how and up-to-date knowledge on state of the art applications in nuclear medicine ... . Text pages are limited to the essential concepts necessary to understand how the system works, and to the explanations necessary to understand what is presented in the images, enriched by a more or less long list of references, suggested readings, and tables. ... this atlas-book should be useful to all those who want to gain knowledge and insight into this fascinating new diagnostic tool." (G. Beluffi, La Radiologia Medica, Vol. 117, 2012)
