Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have continued to develop with
impressive advances in recent years. With the introduction of newer radio-
tracers and the use of hybrid imaging, the role of nuclear medicine in ortho-
pedics has further grown in diagnosis and treatment of various bone and joint
diseases.
This new edition of the book has accordingly been significantly updated
with newer applications of hybrid imaging and the use of positron emission
tracers in bone diseases. This text with the update and addition of two new
chapters provides students and medical professionals with a comprehensive
and clearly presented update on nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
applications in orthopedic medicine. Global vision was considered however,
given the limited resources in some communities which necessitates keeping
presentation of certain modalities and procedures with their updates. The book
begins with a chapter presenting fundamental anatomic, physiologic, patho-
logic, and technical concepts relevant to understanding orthopedic functional
imaging and its use in clinical practice. Subsequent chapters cover diagnosis
of skeletal infections, trauma, vascular disorders, metabolic bone diseases,
neoplastic bone diseases, soft tissue calcifications, and joint disorders. A chap-
ter on bone marrow imaging and another on hybrid imaging in musculoskel-
etal disorders have been added in this edition. The final chapter is devoted to
the use of radionuclides in the treatment of bone and joint diseases.
