Foreword
Infectious diseases have traditionally been an area of medicine, in which nuclear medicine technologies have provided pivotal imaging information for clinical decision- making and appropriate patient management. This textbook Nuclear Medicine in Infectious Diseases, edited by Dr. Andor Glaudemans and Prof. Alberto Signore, is a comprehensive overview on the traditional and more recently developed radiopharmaceuticals used for imaging infection, imaging methodology, and a large number of clinical applications. The textbook is divided into various etiologies and organ systems, addressed in detail by experts in the field. In the past decades, new radiopharmaceuticals and the introduction of hybrid scanners, integrating molecular imaging from SPECT and PET with anatomical information from CT and MRI have boosted the number of indications and procedures. With an abundance of available literature, Nuclear Medicine in Infectious Diseases guides the evidence-based choice of the optimal, imaging agents, matching the clinical condition of the patient. As imaging mostly relies on qualitative interpretation, the guidance provided for the acquisition of the scans and the subse
