Product Description
This state-of-the-art, lavishly illustrated atlas is your visual guide to fusion imaging of all parts of the body. It combines CT with molecular imaging modalities such as PET and SPECT, resulting in significantly enhanced resolution of tumors and other disease processes that give you a unique view into their diagnosis, localization, and spread. Edited by the pioneers of fusion imaging, this new resource will help you more accurately diagnose and effectively guide treatment of human malignancies, including head and neck, lung, colon, ovarian, breast, lymphoma, melanoma, and many others, as well as other diseases such as infections.Emerging techniques such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT offer better diagnostic accuracy.More than 1,000 full-color images help you solve your toughest diagnostic challenges. Hundreds of case studies of normal and abnormal findings provided by two leading academic centers in nuclear medicine let you compare your findings with theirs. Fusion imaging lets you provide the most appropriate treatment based on your findings.Summaries and Key Points boxes for each case assist you in locating key content more easily.The accompanying DVD-ROM, which contains many fully navigable PET/CT and SPECT/CT cases for viewing and analysis, with cross-modality image fusion offers exceptional visual guidance. This DVD-ROM uses RAPID Software provided by Hermes Medical Solutions, www.hermesmedical.com.

Need a magnifying glass by D. Tabb (Baltimore, MD USA)

1 Stars
March 09, 2008
The format of the book is fine and information seems to be good. However, not sure where the blame lies, but someone should lose their job over this product. All of the images in the book (of which there are more than 1000) are incredibly small! Each image is 1.2" x 1.3" in size. That's only slightly larger than a postage stamp. It's bad enough for the whole body PETs, which admittedly being nuclear med are not extremely high resolution, but come on, you can hardly make out ANY details. And the correlating CT's, I have to place my nose against the image, or truly use a magnifying glass, to even get a hint of the abnormality they are apparently showing. I am all for being green, but this is ridiculous. Think of your PACS monitor being on a 300 matrix (which no manufacturer would even conceive of) for these images. Absolutely incredible. This book needs an immediate revision to redo it; as it stands, worthless and was returned.
