DESCRIPTION Orthopedic Radiology: A Practical Approach has established itself as a standard text in musculoskeletal imaging. Featuring over 4,000 illustrations and unique, effective pedagogy, this is the ideal teaching text on musculoskeletal imaging for radiologists and orthopedists at every level of training. It covers all orthopedic problems and imaging modalities and offers indispensable guidance on selecting cost-effective imaging techniques. Featured are PET-CT’s, CT, three-dimensional CT scans for areas covering trauma, MRI, and musculoskeletal ultrasound. Practical Points to Remember appear at the end of each chapter to outline salient points. FEATURES f f Clear, concise illustration program f f Comprehensive--covers all areas of musculoskeletal imaging, and all modalities f f Reflects current approach to effective and cost-efficient use of available imaging techniques f f Single volume f f Tumor sections – revised to include new WHO classifications f f Cartilage repair being done by ortho surgeons – imaging factors heavily into this and will be featured f f Content will reflect increased importance of ultrasound in MSK disease f f Continued application of MRI to joint diseases (inflammatory) -- now routine f f Include new generation MRI’s – replace ~ 50% “old” images f f Separate out chapter on sports injuries from Trauma section

DESCRIPTION Nuclear Oncology a contemporary narrative of the role of nuclear medicine in oncology with an emphasis on SPECT/CT and PET/CT with additional comments when appropriate on the potential application of PET/MR and to a lesser degree, targeted radionuclide therapy. This book focuses on the use of radionuclides in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant diseases. It describes relevant approved and investigational clinical applications, instrumentation & technology, chemistry and practical clinical issues in nuclear oncology. The basic science and current research topics of nuclear oncology are addressed in separate chapters. Nuclear medicine has become an essential component to all phases of the management of the patient with a malignant tumor and in some cases, even benign neoplasms. The standard of practice for many tumors requires PET/CT imaging at various stages of diagnosis and management. In addition to clinical applications, ongoing investigational efforts, which more and more involve multi-institutional protocols, are also presented. FEATURES f f Focuses on the use of radionuclides in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant diseases f f Emphasizes SPECT/CT and PET/CT with additional emphasis on the potential application of PET/MR f f Describes relevant approved and investigational clinical applications, instrumentation & technology, chemistry and practical clinical issues in nuclear oncology
