Atlas of Nuclear Imaging in Sports Medicine

The use of nuclear medicine as an instrumental diagnostic tool in sports imaging, coupled with the proliferation of professional and recreational sports in the community, has made this book both timely and beneficial to sports medicine practitioners. Using an abundance of high-quality nuclear images, this practical, comprehensive atlas presents a variety of common musculoskeletal conditions-especially apparent in sports injuries-that can be clinically diagnosed using nuclear medicine procedures.

This is a practical reference on nuclear imaging in sports medicine with an anatomical approach that is unique compared to its competition. Published as an atlas, this title shows diagrammatic representations of the skeletal region using an approach similar to that used in anatomical textbooks-in a format familiar to readers. Co-author, Jock Anderson, has already published two successful imaging titles with McGraw-Hill and is pre-eminent in the field of radiography in sports medicine, with particular profile as the Director of Medical Imaging at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games and the 2002 Winter Olympics.

The authors have drawn from their extensive, authoritative collection of nuclear images and from their experience at the forefront of nuclear medicine in Australia.
