This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious diseases. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce the radionuclide imaging of 50 kinds of infectious diseases. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

This book provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging in infectious diseases. It starts with a general review of infection diseases, including their classification, characteristics and epidemiology. In separate chapters, the authors then introduce the radionuclide imaging of 50 kinds of infectious diseases. Volume 1 covers 21 viral infections. Volume 2 has 29 chapters discussing 24 bacterial infections and 5 parasitic infections. Each disease is clearly illustrated using cases combined with high-quality computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The book provides a valuable reference source for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious diseases. Editor Li Hongjun, is a Professor and Director at the Diagnostic Radiology Department in Beijing You An Hospital, affiliated with Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Professor Li is also the editor of the book Radiology of Influenza A (H1N1) and the book Radiology of HIV/AIDS: A Practical Approach.

“This new … is a welcome and timely contribution to the literature in the field. … The chapters are well illustrated with pathological and radiological images and illustrative cases, and the references are a useful source of further reading. … The contributors should be congratulated for producing this fine work of scholarship which will hopefully have a worldwide appeal, not only for radiologists but also physicians interested in this area of medicine.” (Dr. Arpan Banerjee, RAD Magazine, April, 2016)“This is designed as a review of infectious disease with an emphasis on the imaging features of a wide range of bacterial and parasitic infections. … It appears to be targeted at practicing physicians, both clinicians and imaging specialists. … a reference for quickly looking up features and imaging characteristics of bacterial and parasitic disease.” (John Paul Haas, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)

Covers most major infectious diseases in 50 separate chapters Presents cases studies enhanced with CT/ MRI images and illustrations Serves as a reference book for radiologists and doctors working in the area of infectious diseases
