“A collection of richly illustrated didactic cases, including key images and their interpretation, techniques, and diagnosis … . Each chapter is complemented by a review of the recent literature. The usefulness of the book may be found mainly in stimulating a greater diffusion of nuclear medical methods … . in addition to professionals and residents in Diagnostic Imaging, this volume can be of great interest to clinicians who have in their daily experience the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory diseases.” (Pasqualina Sannino and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)
“It is a high-quality textbook written with the cooperation of many doctors and researchers in Japan and China who are active in the field of nuclear medicine. This book will serve as a valuable reference in clinical practice and research for many nuclear medicine physicians and researchers, and I recommend keeping this book on hand as a ready source of information.” (Kengo Ito, Annals of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 34, 2020)
