Nuclear Medicine. Clinical and laboratory in 20 specialties. 6th edition fully revised

Nuclear medicine in the mid-20th century evolved from a purely basic science to a very dynamic and basic medical specialty. Nuclear Medicine can image and examine with great precision the function of many organs of the human body. This book clearly describes the methodology and evolution of the methods of Nuclear Medicine for the diagnosis of various diseases.

In a separate part of the book, other basic sciences that find applications in the various studies and examinations of Nuclear Medicine are presented. For the better and easier study of students and young physicians, the most important parts of the chapters are marked in italics in each chapter. Also, with the questions-answers and the illustrations of the Atlas distributed per chapter, the most necessary and useful relevant knowledge is better assimilated.

All the classic medical texts such as Cecil’s “Internal Medicine” and Harrison’s “Internal Pathology” describe applications of nuclear medicine for the diagnosis of cancerous lesions, heart disease, etc. Therefore, Nuclear Medicine is an internationally recognized clinical diagnostic and therapeutic specialty.

This book has the advantage of briefly covering all the conditions studied by Nuclear Medicine and not only the corresponding techniques and methods. Thus, this book is also useful to any physician who wants to combine general medical knowledge with the more specific knowledge of Nuclear Medicine.

The collaboration of 83 Colleagues and Professors from abroad and Greece shows the effort and the international scientific level of the book.
