Tuberculosis: General overview Epidemiology/global burden, clinical presentation etc -- Diagnosis of Tuberculosis -- Radiological imaging in Tuberculosis -- Management of Tuberculosis -- FDG PET/CT Imaging in TB: patient preparation and imaging -- FDG PET/CT in pulmonary TB: Current evidence -- FDG PET/CT in extra pulmonary TB: Current evidence -- FDG PET/CT in TB and HIV -- FDG PET/CT in TB: mimics, pitfalls and limitations -- FDG PET/CT In treatment response assessment of TB -- Non FDG PET tracers in imaging TB.
This book covers both the science of PET/CT imaging in tuberculosis and the impact that this technique can have on disease management through the provision of high-quality evidence regarding function and structure. The scientific principles of PET/CT, the radiopharmaceuticals used in the context of tuberculosis (FDG and non-FDG tracers), patient preparation, and imaging protocols are fully explained. Imaging findings obtained in different settings, including pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, tuberculosis and HIV co-infection, and evaluation of response to antituberculous therapy, are described with the aid of many high-quality illustrations. Attention is drawn to mimics of tuberculosis, pitfalls, and limitations. The book will be an excellent asset for referring clinicians, nuclear medicine/radiology physicians, radiographers/technologists, and nurses who routinely work in nuclear medicine and participate in multidisciplinary meetings.
