Thyroid Diseases: Clinical Fundamentals and Therapy provides a wide-ranging examination of all clinically significant areas of thyroid diseases. Underlying physiological principles are closely linked to the clinical situation and practical therapeutic interventions. The book examines the clinical course, therapy, and final outcome of thyroid diseases, particularly the bimodal and transient evolution of several thyroid diseases. It also discusses the medical, surgical, and radiometabolic therapy of thyroid diseases, stressing the pros and cons of each therapeutic modality.More than 80 acknowledged experts from North America, Europe, and Japan have contributed to this exceptional reference volume, making it essential for physiologists, clinical endocrinologists, radiologists, researchers in nuclear medicine, oncologists, and radiotherapists.

Die Nebennierenrinde ist mit konventionellen R|ntgenverfahren nur ungen}genddarzustellen. Die nuklearmedizinische Diagnostik ist hier umso bedeutsamer, weil sie zus{tzlich Stoffwechselvorg{nge sichtbar macht, welche sich in der gesunden wie kranken Nebenniere abspielen. Endokrinologische Krankheitsbilder wie das Ph{ochromozytom oder der prim{re Aldosteronismus und Hyperkortisolismus k|nnen so charakterisiert werden. Die Autoren legen hierzu reiches Bildmaterial vor, welches auch den Internisten bei der Beurteilung nuklearmedizinischer Befunde hilft. Dioe Autoren schlie~en mit Hinweisen zur mittlerweile m|glichen nuklearmedizinischen Therapie und diskutieren deren Indikationen.
