Teaching Atlas of Nuclear Medicine

by Kevin J. Donohoe, Annick D. Van den Abbeele

Overview

Teaching Atlas of Nuclear Medicine

Each volume in Thieme's new Teaching Atlas series features a wide range of challenging cases in radiology, and is ideal for both self-assessment and review. All cases stress the "real-life" presentation of a specific clinical problem, beginning with high-quality radiographs and followed by patient history, radiographic findings, differential-diagnosis, discussion, and suggestions for further reading. Highlighted "Pearls," "Pitfalls", and "Controversial Issues" round out the presentation of each case and provide the reader with hundreds of useful hints and recommendations. A must for residents rotating in sub-specialties or studying for board examinations, the Teaching Atlas series is also a useful review for experienced practitioners.

In the TEACHING ATLAS OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE, you'll find comprehensive coverage of the entire field of nuclear medicine through a series of clearly presented cases. Following the board exam format, the cases are presented as unknowns, with an image and brief clinical description; you are then asked to arrive at your own differential diagnosis. Complete with tips, pearls, pitfalls, and a brief discussion of each case, this is the ideal book for self-testing and maximizing your study time.

Editorial Reviews

This collection of 169 cases provides the concise information needed for the interpretation of nuclear medicine images. It focuses on the common presentations of many diseases and utilizes this information as a tool to understand how images are affected by normal physiology and by disease. Brief clinical presentations are followed by the images, pertinent technical aspects of each study, a brief discussion outlining why the images appear as they do, and specific image findings that should have helped to make the final diagnosis. Donahoe (nuclear medicine, Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center) and Abbeele (nuclear medicine, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute) also provide pearls that might have assisted image interpretation and pitfalls that complicate making an accurate diagnosis.
