CT in Nuclear Medicine (ePub)

'CT in Nuclear Medicine,' is a comprehensive guide designed for nuclear medicine technologists. Within the pages of this book, we explore the subject of computed tomography and nuclear medicine, offering a wealth of knowledge that is essential to your field of work.

In the first section, we go through the fundamental aspects of CT technology. We will explore topics such as the basic principles of CT, the equipment used, image reconstruction methods, image display techniques, data acquisition processes, image quality assessment, and the identification of common CT image artifacts.

The second part of this book will open the door to 'Hybrid Imaging in Nuclear Medicine,' shedding light on the advantages it brings to SPECT and PET imaging modalities. We will also explore the foundational concepts of quality control in hybrid systems. To illustrate the practical application of these concepts, we will discuss several Nuclear Medicine Procedures that incorporate Computed Tomography, such as Bone Scintigraphy, Lung Imaging, Neuroendocrine Tumors, Sentinel Node Imaging, Myocardial Perfusion Imaging, Infection and Inflammation Studies, as well as Parathyroid and Thyroid Imaging. As we progress further, we will touch upon the innovative field of 'Hybrid Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy.'

This book aims to provide a concise yet comprehensive guide, offering simplified explanations of CT and Hybrid Imaging concepts, tailored specifically for nuclear medicine technologists. We are confident that the knowledge you gain here will prove invaluable in enhancing your expertise and furthering your contributions to the field of nuclear medicine.
