Overview

This text gives an account of the SPECT technique, including basic aspects of radiation, radiation dosimetry and radiation protection, and the use of SPECT in major domains such as epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, head injury, cerebrovascular disorders, and cerebral neoplasm. It is written mainly by neuroclinicians with a wide experience of using SPECT in their own clinical domain. The book can therefore, serve as a practical guide for neuroclinicians who are less familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of SPECT. It is also of interest to nuclear medicine specialists who would like to know more about the clinical applications of the technique. This text is a concise guide, concentrating largely on the major applications of the technique.

'If a short introduction to the uses of SPECT of the brain is required, this amply fulfils the niche. I would recommend it as an ideal bench book for departmental libraries and as a personal purchase for those involved in requesting SPECT scans for their patients. It will help them to select referrals for SPECT more judiciously and to understand better the resulting reports.' Clinical Oncology, 10:1 (1998)
