Foreword
Professor Y. W. Bahk, the author of this book, is internationally well recognized as a pioneer in designing and applying advanced bone scintigraphy using pinhole collimation to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of the molecular diagnostic imaging of callused trabecular microfracture to a micrographic level in the whole human body along with the differentiation of bone marrow edema from hemorrhage. Principally, Prof. Bahk achieved his image micrographic work on the physics of pinhole collimator imaging and biochemistry, for instance, bone metabolism. Metabolic bone change necessarily occurs in osteoneogenesis, and it can be imaged by the tracer-labeled diphosphonates. The results bring off superb diagnostic signal to precisely denote pathology not shown by ordinary imaging modalities. This monograph gives a grand display of the power of his specific imaging technique. Prof. Bahk initiated his work decades ago by investigating the power of micrographic medical imaging published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine in 1987. It was entitled “Pinhole Collimator Bone Scintigraphy in Differentia
