Nuclear Medicine Hybrid Imaging for Radiographers & Technologists

This essential book, amid the rapid shift toward hybrid imaging, empowers radiographers, technologists and practitioners to build on solid fundamentals, strengthen patient care, and refine advanced techniques.
Uniqueness: This book provides a comprehensive perspective on hybrid imaging and patient management, offering insights not only from physicians and radiographers but also from other key professionals, such as physicists, psychologists, and other interdisciplinary experts. Specifically tailored for radiographers yet equally valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of hybrid imaging technology and techniques it fills a critical void in current educational resources.
Structured Approach: Organized into eighteen chapters, the book offers a clear, methodical framework that starts with foundational concepts to introduce the reader to the subject and builds progressively toward more advanced topics, including specialized skills and patient-centered imaging practices. It is an excellent reference for professionals at any stage of their career, from beginners to experts.
Target Audience: Designed for radiographers, students, residents, and practitioners exploring cutting-edge hybrid imaging technologies, this text bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge of instrumentation and its real-world application in both daily practice and patient care.
Filling a gap: By comprehensively covering both hybrid imaging and patient management from a radiographer s perspective, this textbook serves as an indispensable educational resource. It equips readers with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the growing demand for expertise and advanced, patient-tailored imaging in this dynamic field.
