Nuclear medicine is a unique field which requires diverse knowledge which
includes many basic science components such as physics, chemistry, radiation
biology, dosimetry, and others. Knowledge of the pathophysiological
features of diseases is of crucial importance to the understanding, effective
practice and utilization of nuclear medicine.
Since clinical nuclear medicine
is simply the application of such basic principle in the study of many conditions
of virtually every organ in the body, the pathophysiological features of
relevant disease processes are discussed in several chapters of organ systems
along with essentials in imaging and its clinical significance.
The book starts by an introductory chapter defining and explaining basic
pathophysiology, followed by a chapter on effects of ionizing radiation and
essential of cell biology including the features of different cells and tissues
with their biological features. The mechanisms of radiopharmaceutical
uptake by different tissues and effects of pathophysiological changes on its
distribution are included in a separate chapter. These basic parts are followed
by chapters for organ systems in addition to chapters on inflammation, oncology,
and basis of the therapeutic effects of radionuclides and applications in
treating relevant diseases.
