Reviews

“This book is organized into 15 chapters for a total of 357 pages. Most of the chapters include extremely educational high-quality figures and/or tables. … this book serves as a quick reference that may help readers understand different scintigraphic patterns and select appropriate treatment modalities, on the basis of an understanding of pathophysiology. … a more compact and easily readable text on this complex and important subject.” (Nicola Frega and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 42, 2015)
