Ora Israel – författare

Edited by Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel, two leading authorities in the field of nuclear medicine, this practical guide is a reference source of cases for images obtained on state-of-the-art integrated PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging systems. The cases are presented in-depth so that they will be of value to residents training in nuclear medicine and radiology and to nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists who need to become familiar with this technology. Internationally recognized contributors provide the reader with in-depth coverage on the technical and clinical aspects of hybrid imaging. Principles of hybrid imaging, physics and instrumentation, normal distribution of radiopharmaceuticals and protocols central to the field are covered. A comprehensive review of nuclear oncology cases found in everyday practice, ranging from simple to complex are also addressed. The full spectrum of clinical applications is covered including head and neck tumors, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and genitourinary tumors. Additional chapters examine cardiac hybrid imaging, benign bone diseases and infection and inflammation. A wealth of illustrations reinforce the key teaching points discussed throughout the book.

Exploring a technology that is significantly impacting the noninvasive evaluation of the physiology and anatomy of tumors, as well as the diagnosis of infectious processes and cardiac diseases, this source presents recent advances and clinical applications of sequential, single session single-photon emission computed tomography and computed tomography imaging. This source is written by pioneers in hybrid imaging and offers authoritative sections on state-of-the-art breakthroughs in sentinel lymph node identification, cardiac imaging, and the study and treatment of a variety of disorders including lymphoma, thyroid and parathyroid tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, prostatic cancer, and bone metastases.

Positron emission tomography (PET) has been approved for the diagnosis and staging of gynecologic malignancies for several years now.� This issue reviews the imaging of cervical, uterine, and endometrial cancers.� There is also an articles on the uses of PET/CT for imaging normal and abnormal anatomy, as well as gynecologic imaging using other modalities.� Lastly this issue contains a review of newer radionuclide tracers currently in development.
