Quantitative analysis in nuclear medicine imaging - PINLAB

Quantitative Analysis in Nuclear Medicine Imaging examines fundamental concepts
of quantitative image analysis techniques as they are applied in diagnostic and
therapeutic nuclear medicine using conventional instrumentation and dual-modality
imaging devices. It offers a complete and balanced review of the subject, presenting a
broad scope and coverage of quantitative analysis of nuclear medicine imaging, which
is of growing importance for both clinical and research applications. No other book in
the market covers this material in a single volume, making it a unique and exceptional
reference for graduate students and professional scientists.
This book is written for nuclear medicine physicists, biomedical engineers, physicians,
and technologists, and can serve as a reference for professional development, as well as
graduate students in science, medical and engineering faculties, medical physics, and
biomedical engineering specialties. A valuable resource for teaching courses in medical
physics and biomedical engineering, this book could also be recommended as
supplementary reading in physics and engineering undergraduate courses. It also
serves as an excellent reference to particle physicists working in medical applications
of high energy physics, as well as technologists/residents in diagnostic radiology,
nuclear medicine, and radiation oncology.

PD Habib Zaidi, Ph.D
Geneva University Hospital, Switzerland
Quantitative Analysis in Nuclear Medicine Imaging explores
the essential ideas behind quantitative image analysis techniques
when applied to diagnostic as well as therapeutic nuclear medicine
with the use of conventional instrumentation and recent dualmodality
imaging devices. Chapters offer an in-depth exploration
of a wide range of topics including obtaining quantitatively accurate
data from nuclear medicine images, the latest algorithmic
developments and computer implementations of image correction
and reconstruction techniques and related application of Monte
Carlo modeling techniques. Descriptions of important clinical
areas of quantitative nuclear imaging including cardiology,
neurology and psychiatry, and oncology are also featured as well as
possible future applications.
