This is an outstanding addition to nuclear medicine literature. It describes the evolution of nuclear medicine and hybrid imaging from the historical lineage of scintillation cameras to modern PET and MRI systems. The authors deftly bridge foundational physics with clinical nuance. The chapters offer good information on patient-centric care. There is strong emphasis on standardisation, quality control, dose optimisation and the expanding theragnostic paradigm. These are core elements that any clinician or technologist engaged in hybrid imaging must be aware of.
The book has an easy-to-follow chapter structure, is straightforward to read and has commitment to interdisciplinarity. The inclusion of patient-centred topics such as workflow design, paediatric considerations, and patient engagement elevates this book beyond a technical manual. This is a comprehensive, forward-looking guide that will remain relevant for both technologists and nuclear physicians alike.
It is meticulously crafted, clinically relevant, and essential reading for technologists and nuclear physicians who want a modern, authoritative understanding of hybrid nuclear medicine imaging.
Overall, this is an excellent overview of conventional and hybrid scintigraphy with both great chapter structure and readability.
