Pediatric Nuclear Medicine/PET, Third Edition
The 3rd Edition of Pediatric Nuclear Medicine / PET by Dr. S. Ted Treves from Children's Hospital Boston published by Springer Science Business Media, released in December 2006. The book features an interactive DVD with more than 120 clinical pediatric nuclear medicine case studies with HERMES medical imaging software for review.
Upon publication of the first edition, Pediatric Nuclear Medicine emerged as the standard text in the field. Given the rapid expansion of nuclear medicine, particularly in pediatrics, over the past several years, the marketplace is ready for a new edition that reflects the latest advances in PET, SPECT, and oncology. This text is a welcome extension of the second edition that retains the fundamentals that anchor the title's distinguished reputation. It has been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate cutting-edge diagnostic techniques. The third edition serves as an excellent resource for physicians whose nuclear medicine practices include children and provides a vast amount of background material for residents in training.
Strategically expanded throughout, the third edition features:
• Discussions and examples of PET in pediatric oncology and neurology
• A revamped chapter on SPECT and explanations of the latest applications of SPECT
• Presentation of comparative studies with MRI and CT, including image registration and fusion among MRI/SPECT, MRI/PET, SPECT/PET, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT
• Revised sections on the cardiovascular system, the genitourinary system, and thyroid diseases
• Expanded coverage of oncology
• DVD with more than 120 selected case studies with HERMES RAPID software
