Methods involving nuclear physics are today finding applications in many disciplines, including important areas of medicine. This book intends to bridge the gap between the many applications in medicine and the underlying basic nuclear physics which needs to be understood by those applying the methods. In addition, those active in nuclear science will gain insight into the manifold applications of their subject. The main topics of the book are: physical foundations, instrumentation, diagnostics (imaging), therapies and radiation safety. The book will appeal to medical doctors active in...

Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is a disease resulting from temporary or permanent loss of blood supply. It frequently affects the femoral head and in this area, if left untreated, routinely causes premature joint destruction.

In the USA, 5 to 10% of cases of hip osteoarthritis requiring total hip replacement are primarily caused by AVN. In 33 to 72% of patients, the disease is bilateral. The peak incidence is between 30 and 60 years of age, and the social costs of this pathology are remarkable. There is therefore increasing interest in hip joint preserving techniques such as conservative...

This book deals with a subject that is seemingly trivial: normal findings
in radiology. However, the normal is also the frequent, but not always the
simple. Every radiologist has experienced difficulties in the systematics of
imaging and with phrasing the diagnosis. This book is intended to answer three
questions:

• How should the diagnosis be phrased?
  
• Which general scheme can I use to evaluate an image; how can I check for the degree of normality?
  
• Which data allow me to evidence normality, and what measurements should be...
