With clinical cases related to multiple clinical entities presented in depth, Hybrid PET-CT and SPECT-CT Imaging: A Teaching File by Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel is designed to be a teaching manual and everyday companion for our colleagues working in private practice, for residents training in nuclear medicine or radiology, for medical students, and for physicians whose specialties carry over into molecular imaging with radiopharmaceuticals.
The first two chapters cover the technical aspects of hybrid imaging and a historical perspective of the development of this technology. Recommendations for patient preparation and acquisition protocols, with special emphasis on physiologic variants, pitfalls, and artifacts follow. The next 15 chapters are devoted to clinical applications in oncology, according to specific malignant diseases and patient populations. The final three chapters present relatively new clinical applications of hybrid imaging in the field of cardiology, skeletal, and infectious diseases.
Each chapter begins with a succinct summary of the recent literature for the specific clinical application. This is followed by a series of case presentations ranging from the simple to the more complex in an attempt to simulate clinical practice. Images are presented in PET/SPECT stand-alone, CT stand-alone, and fused-images format in order to highlight the advantages and incremental value of the hybrid technology in the cases selected. At the end of each chapter, up-to-date references allow the reader to follow in greater depth the rapidly expanding volume of knowledge.
