Preface
The only source of knowledge is experience. (Albert Einstein)
The Radionuclide Parathyroid Imaging: Book and Atlas is the first dedicated comprehensive book and atlas on radionuclide parathyroid imaging. It is designed as a ready reference on the use of parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with hyperparathyroidism, both for the localisation of parathyroid pathology and as an aid to surgery. The introductory chapters (Chaps. 1–5) review the basic core knowledge on the subject including parathyroid anatomy, embryology, and histology (Chap. 1), parathyroid physiology (Chap. 2), hyperparathyroid disorders (Chap. 3), the current structural diagnostic imaging modalities (Chap. 4), and parathyroid scintigraphy (Chap. 5). Chapter 6 highlights the utility of the 18F-Choline PET/CT in the localisation of hyperactive parathyroid pathology; Chap. 7 includes the atlas of cases of parathyroid scintigraphy, and Chap. 8 includes 18F-Choline parathyroid PET/CT example cases. A total of 80 case reviews are presented, covering gamma camera planar imaging, SPECT, hybrid SPECT-CT, and also PET-CT. Illustrations and figures comprising line drawings, greyscale photos depicting nuclear medicine, and CT images and dual-modality fusion colour photos are included. This compilation of illustrative clinical cases will great
