Pet Medicine

Can someone compare and contrast Nuclear Medicine and PET imaging?

Nuclear medicine includes anything that involves injecting radioactive emitters into the patient. You could break it up into two categories: therapeutic and diagnostic.

The therapeutic part would include giving the patient radioactive emitters that are meant to kill something inside the patient. For example, you could give the patient radioactive iodine if you need to destroy his thyroid gland because for cancer or hyperthyroidism.

The diagnostic part would include using radioactive emitters to image physiological functioning of the body. For example, you could give radiolabeled glucose (labeled with a positron emitter) to a patient, then use a PET scanner to see what parts of the body are most metabolically active. The utility in this is that cancers are usually the most metabolically active tissues in the body, so you can find tumor metastases this way.

So PET imaging is included under the umbrella-term of nuclear medicine, although it is often run by the radiology people instead of the nuclear medicine people.

Bad Medicine $16.95 “Christopher Wanjek uses a take-no-prisoners approach in debunking the outrageous nonsense being heaped on a gullible public in the name of science and medicine. Wanjek writes with clarity, humor, and humanity, and simultaneously informs and entertains.” -Dr. Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic magazine; monthly columnist, Scientific American; author of Why People Believe Weird Things Prehistoric humans believed cedar ashes and incantations could cure a head injury. Ancient Egyptians believed the heart was the center of thought, the liver produced blood, and the brain cooled the body. The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates was a big fan of bloodletting. Today, we are still plagued by countless medical myths and misconceptions. Bad Medicine sets the record straight by debunking widely held yet incorrect notions of how the body works, from cold cures to vaccination fears. Clear, accessible, and highly entertaining, Bad Medicine dispels such medical convictions as: * You only use 10% of your brain: CAT, PET, and MRI scans all prove that there are no inactive regions of the brain . . . not even during sleep. * Sitting too close to the TV causes nearsightedness: Your mother was wrong. Most likely, an already nearsighted child sits close to see better. * Eating junk food will make your face break out: Acne is caused by dead skin cells, hormones, and bacteria, not from a pizza with everything on it. * If you don’t dress warmly, you’ll catch a cold: Cold viruses are the true and only cause of colds. Protect yourself and the ones you love from bad medicine-the brain you save may be your own.

A Personal History of Nuclear Medicine $189 This book outlines the history of the development of nuclear medicine and describes the hurdles that nuclear medicine has had to face, in view of the perception of risk of radiation. Up to the present day, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been primarily surgical. When a mass or an enlarged lymph node is detected, immediate attempts are made to remove it or obtain a histological diagnosis by biopsy. Today, characterization of molecular processes in cancerous lesions by PET can help to determine whether therapy should be aggressive or postponed. The most important reason for the rapid acceptance of PET imaging is its value in the care of patients with suspected or known cancer, for establishing the diagnosis, planning and monitoring therapy, and in detecting early recurrence. Written for nuclear medicine professionals, non-nuclear medicine physicians and the public, this book chronicles the development of nuclear medicine together with its basic philosophy in the past, present and future.

Practical Nuclear Medicine $132.99 Nuclear medicine plays a crucial role in patient care, and this book is an essential guide for all practitioners to the many techniques that inform clinical management. The first part covers the scientific basis of nuclear medicine, the rest of the book deals with clinical applications. Diagnostic imaging has an increasingly important role in patient management and, despite advances in other modalities (functional MRI and spiral CT), nuclear medicine continues to make its unique contribution by its ability to demonstrate physiological function. This book is also expanded by covering areas of development in nuclear medicine, such as PET, methods of tumor imaging, and data processing. All illustrations for this new edition reflect current standards of image quality. This practical approach results in a book which is invaluable to the radiologist, physician, physicist, or technologist starting in nuclear medicine but also contains up-to-date advice for the most experienced practitioner.

Clinical Nuclear Medicine $279 The modern practice of nuclear medicine is now well into its seventh decade. Its strength in depicting physiology and function has always complemented our sister anatomic modalities such as CT, MRI and ultrasound. With the incredible development of PET/CT, this is evident now more than ever. Clinical Nuclear Medicine is a unique European/American joint venture that focuses on the universal state of the art in both diagnostic and therapeutic radionuclide methodology. Pertinent clinical applications are emphasized rather than attempting to cover everything included in the several large comprehensive texts available in our field. This ???practical??? approach should make this a useful guide to nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, students and interested clinicians alike.
