"Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1991" features a state-of-the-art review of the applications of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies in diagnosing benign disorders such as acute myocardial infarction and venous thrombosis. Also included is a report on technetium-99m MAG-3, a multipurpose renal imaging agent that will replace radiohippuran in routine clinical work. Two articles on functional brain imaging with SPECT discuss the available radiopharmaceuticals and describe the quantitative approaches that may be used with SPECT brain scans. Other topics covered include radionuclide bone imaging in Paget's disease, the role of nuclear medicine in congenital renal disease, thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging, thallium-201 in nuclear oncology, and the role of gallium-67 in evaluating lymphoma treatment.
