This comprehensive pictorial case-based atlas of radionuclide imaging in infection and inflammation comprises a diverse group of excellent cases, many using hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging. The cases cover a wide spectrum of infection and inflammation in multiple organ systems from brain to feet, including bone, soft tissues, lung, liver, spleen, heart and major vessels, fever of unknown origin, prosthetic joint and implanted devices, vascular grafts, catheter infections, and infections related to hardware in bone. Infections and inflammation associated with chronic inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, Sjögren’s disease, vasculitis, and atherosclerosis are also included. The imaging is with commercially and routinely available radiopharmaceuticals such as 67Ga-citrate or the newer 18F-FDG in PET imaging, and 111In-oxine or 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Ceretec; GE Healthcare)–labeled white blood cells, 3-phase bone and sulfur colloid bone marrow scanning, and monoclonal antibodies. The book is divided into 13 chapters covering a wide spectrum of infection and inflammation imaging in the entire body. It is the end result of collaborative hard work by many medical professionals from medical centers throughout Italy, through their involvement in the study group on inflammation and infection of the Italian Association of Nuclear Medicine. Some cases in this atlas are not routinely or frequently seen in a general nuclear medicine practice and thus can serve as a good go-to reference.

Abstract
This comprehensive pictorial case-based atlas of radionuclide imaging in infection and inflammation comprises a diverse group of excellent cases, many using hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging. The cases cover a wide spectrum of infection and inflammation in multiple organ systems from brain to feet, including bone, soft tissues, lung, liver, spleen, heart and major vessels, fever of unknown origin, prosthetic joint and implanted devices, vascular grafts, catheter infections, and infections related to hardware in bone. Infections and inflammation associated with chronic inflammation in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, Sjögren’s disease, vasculitis, and atherosclerosis are also included. The imaging is with commercially and routinely available radiopharmaceuticals such as 67Ga-citrate or the newer 18F-FDG in PET imaging, and 111In-oxine or 99mTc-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Ceretec; GE Healthcare)–labeled white blood cells, 3-phase bone and sulfur colloid bone marrow scanning, and monoclonal antibodies. The book is divided into 13 chapters covering a wide spectrum of infection and inflammation imaging in the entire body. It is the end result of collaborative hard work by many medical professionals from medical centers throughout Italy, through their involvement in the study group on inflammation and infection of the Italian Association of Nuclear Medicine. Some cases in this atlas are not routinely or frequently seen in a general nuclear medicine practice and thus can serve as a good go-to reference.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
