This atlas explores the latest advances in radionuclide imaging in the field of inflammatory diseases and infections, which now typically includes multimodality fusion imaging (e.g. in SPECT/CT and in PET/CT). In addition to describing the pathophysiologic and molecular mechanisms on which the radionuclide imaging of infection/inflammation is based, the clinical relevance and impact of such procedures are demonstrated in a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases, which describe the most commonly observed scintigraphic patterns, as well as anatomic variants and technical pitfalls. Special emphasis is placed on using tomographic multimodality imaging to increase both the sensitivity and specificity of radionuclide imaging.

The aim of the second edition of this book is to update the first (published in 2013) by reflecting the changes in this rapidly evolving field. Particular attention is paid to the latest advances in the radionuclide imaging of infection and inflammation, including the expanding role of hybrid imaging with [18F]FDG PET/CT SPECT/CT, without neglecting new radiotracers proposed for the imaging of infection/inflammation.

Written by respected experts in the field, the book will be an invaluable tool for residents in nuclear medicine, as well as for other specialists.

Industry Reviews
"A major didactic value is in the representation, in each illustrated case ... . The reader, both younger and the most experienced, has the opportunity to understand or refresh the pathophysiological bases ... . this atlas allows an excellent training on the use of techniques and in the interpretation of images acquired with radionuclide procedures. It can result very useful not only to nuclear physicians and radiologists, but also to clinicians ... ." (Milena Masone and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)
