Comprehensive Atlas of Hybrid Nuclear Medicine: A Practical Guide for Interpreting PET and SPECT Imaging

Authored by renowned experts Mario Leporace, Ferdinando Calabria, Eugenio Gaudio MD-PhD, Orazio Schillaci, Alfonso Ciaccio, and Antonio Bagnato, this atlas is a pioneering work that covers the entire spectrum of hybrid nuclear medicine, including PET/CT, SPECT/CT, and PET/MRI. The three-volume set is based on real-life case studies from leading medical centers, providing a unique learning experience for nuclear physicians and radiologists.

User-Friendly Structure for Easy Navigation

The atlas features a practical two-page unit structure, organized by anatomical districts, allowing readers to easily navigate and identify hybrid nuclear medicine findings. Each unit includes labeled and explained low-dose multiplanar CT or MRI views merged with PET fusion imaging on one side and contrast-enhanced CT or MRI on the other side.

Volume 1: Brain and Neck PET Imaging with PET/MRI Emphasis

Focusing on brain and neck PET imaging, Volume 1 delves into the applications of PET/MRI in neuroimaging. The included case studies and practical tips will enhance readers’ confidence in interpreting PET and SPECT findings.

Volume 2: Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis PET Imaging with Emphasis on Lung and Liver Segmental Anatomy

Volume 2 covers thorax, abdomen, and pelvis PET imaging, with a special focus on lung and liver segmental anatomy. The chapter also includes evaluation of the peritoneum, providing a comprehensive understanding of PET and SPECT findings in these regions.

Volume 3: Specialized Chapters on Heart, Lymph Nodes, and Musculoskeletal System

The final volume includes specialized chapters on heart, lymph nodes, and musculoskeletal system, providing in-depth insights into these complex areas. Each chapter begins with three-dimensional CT and/or MRI views of the evaluated anatomical region, accompanied by sectional tables and practical clinical cases.

Throughout the atlas, readers will find valuable tips and tricks for overcoming common pitfalls and improving their understanding of PET and SPECT radiopharmaceuticals and molecular pathways. This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for nuclear physicians, radiologists, and students seeking to enhance their skills in hybrid nuclear medicine.
