This atlas compiled by experienced specialists in the field is designed as a ready reference
on the use of parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with hyperparathyroidism both for the
localisation of parathyroid pathology and as an aid to surgery. The introductory chapters
review the basic core knowledge on the subject. Eighty case reviews are then presented
covering gamma camera planar imaging SPECT hybrid SPECT-CT and also PET-CT. In total 240
illustrations are included comprising 160 grey-scale photos depicting nuclear medicine and CT
images and 80 dual-modality fusion colour photos. This compilation of illustrative clinical
cases will greatly assist clinicians and imaging specialists in image interpretation in
different settings. The images replicate normal conventional formats used for routine reporting
and hence facilitate fast and reliable diagnosis. Each of the case reviews includes
documentation of the procedure findings and conclusions with relevant commentary. Surgeons
nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists will find the Radionuclide Parathyroid Imaging:
Book and Atlas to be a valuable practical tool and learning aid.
