This tome is the first to surpass Ignac Fogelman's 1994 "An Atlas of Clinical Nuclear Medicine." The latest hybrid imaging modalities demand ---and this text provides--- correlation of high-resolution anatomic imaging with the functional imaging of both single and dual photon studies. The high quality images and graphics are accompanied by concise explanations and useful procedural protocols.

The Society of Nuclear Medicine's "Diagnostic Patterns in Nuclear Medicine" provides a lengthy listing of diagnoses associated with various imaging findings, but that book's mere listing does little to help make the distinctions necessary to nail the differential diagnosis. This book has no such weakness. A very special strength of this text is that every section explains the distinctions that assist the differential diagnosis. More remarkable still, the explanations are accompanied by images that make those distinctions clear.

Other than the very rare explanation that is too concise or acronym that is obscure, I find no weakness in this text.

recommended because there are lots of images which are so important for any book on medical imaging.

I recommend Requisites or Mettler for the basics... this is great for images. I wish I had spent more time looking at unusual cases prior to the boards. Great reference for practice.

I made a purchase that product in the month of December, but the deadline for delivery had expired. I made contact with the representatives and were very attentive to solve the problem. Was sent a new book and went perfectly smoothly and on time. I very much appreciate the attention of the entire team. Thank's.
