Opis

For its 4th edition, this book has been amended, updated, and rearranged. Covers the role of pinhole imaging, and the novel diagnostic use of gamma correction pinhole bone scan in skeletal disorders. Includes pinhole scans plus CT, MRI and ultrasound images.

Recenzje

"This is a good overview of musculoskeletal nuclear medicine and plain film correlation, with excellent chapter structure, readability and excellent insights into the foundation techniques." (RAD Magazine , September, 2018)
"Professor Bahk's successful book, Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases, has contributed to the practical recognition of nuclear medicine imaging as an everlasting 'seeing is believing' type of science. ... Combined Scintigraphic and Radiographic Diagnosis of Bone and Joint Diseases will be helpful and useful to practitioners and researchers in nuclear medicine, radiology, orthopedic surgery, pathology, anatomy, and the imaging sciences for the improved diagnosis of variable bone and joint diseases." (E. Edmund Kim, Journal of Nuclear Medicine JNM, December, 2018)
