The second edition of this book has been significantly expanded to meet the demands of the increasing new trend of molecular imaging. A separate chapter on the basis of FDG uptake has been added. New to this edition are the more clinically oriented details on scintigraphic studies, their strengths and limitations in relation to other modalities. It further contains many new images, illustrations and tables.
