This text is intended to emphasize the value of pinhole scintigraphy in diagnosing nearly the entire spectrum of bone and joint diseases. Pinhole scintigraphy discloses anatomic and pathologic as well as chemical alterations in greater detail, permitting analytical interpretation and raising the sensitivity as well. Infections, non-specific bone inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, rheumatic disorders, metabolic and endocrine bone diseases, trauma and both primary tumours and metastasis can be effectively and specifically examined. By improving sensitivity, many false negative readings can be avoided in early bone metastasis, synovitis, anthesopathies, bone contusions and other conditions.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews of the third edition:
"The excellent print quality of the images makes this a very valuable aid for anyone interested in the diagnosis of bone disease...I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a worthwhile text for any medical library." The Radiographer
"The textbook has undergone extensive revision for the new edition and has been further enhanced by a new enlarged format. . The result is a textbook of 538 pages with 692 figures, a considerable increase compared with the second edition . . The index is also remarkably clear and comprehensive . . In summary, I would thoroughly recommend this text to all involved in the use of scintigraphy for the diagnosis of bone and joint disorders." (Andrew J. Grainger, Clinical Radiology, Issue 62, 2007)
