This book, now in a revised and updated second edition, offers a
comprehensive overview of the state of the art in orthopedic
nuclear medicine, including the impressive recent advances in the
field and the diagnosis of under-recognized conditions on the
basis of their imaging patterns. The opening chapters acquaint
the reader briefly with anatomic, physiologic, pathologic, and
technical concepts crucial to a sound understanding of orthopedic
nuclear medicine and its utilization in clinical practice. The
imaging diagnosis of skeletal infections, trauma, vascular
disorders, metabolic and neoplastic bone diseases, soft tissue
calcifications, and joint disorders is then explained in
detail. Two entirely new chapters, on bone marrow imaging
and hybrid imaging of bone diseases, have been added to this
edition. A separate chapter is devoted to the use of
radionuclides for the treatment of bone and joint disorders. The
book is richly illustrated and amply documents the effectiveness
of nuclear medicine in diagnosing bone disease. It will prove
invaluable to all with an interest in diagnostic and therapeutic
orthopedics, including orthopedists, radiologists,
rheumatologists, pediatricians, podiatrists, other clinicians,
and all nuclear and molecular imaging professionals.
