Cerebral Spect Imaging

This outstanding text/atlas is the reference of choice for authoritative guidance on functional brain imaging. The Second Edition provides complete information on the latest instrumentation--particularly multi-detector and ring detector systems, single-head systems, and dedicated systems--and on the latest radiopharmaceuticals, including 99m Tc-HMPAO and 99m Tc-ECD. Coverage also includes a wealth of new information on advanced imaging techniques; common technical pitfalls; normal, correlative, and functional neuroanatomy; and image interpretation. More than 400 full-color and black-and-white illustrations complement the text. Highlighting the Second Edition are new chapters on technical factors and functional anatomy, as well as a substantially expanded collection of challenging case studies. The pertinent clinical and imaging characteristics of cerebrovascular disease, dementia, seizure disorders, trauma, and psychiatric disorders are thoroughly described and documented with superbly reproduced SPECT images.
