Winkler, C

The authors in this collection present contributions embracing the whole field of nuclear medical methods for the diagnosis and therapy of malignant tumors. They report not only on experiences with well-tried methods but also on new radiopharmaceuticals and their clinical significance. Current developments in radioimmunological procedures are discussed at length with regard both to radioimmune scintigraphy and the use of tumor markers in vitro, and to possibilities for tumor therapy. General reviews of the present state-of-the-art in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) diagnostics in the form of computed nuclear spin tomography and in vivo spectrometry are provided. Contents: Introduction and Basic Considerations. - Technical Principles. - Diagnostic Use of Radiopharmaceuticals. - Radioimmuno-detection. - Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging and In Vivo Spectroscopy. - Positron Emission Tomography. - Use of Tumor Markers in Vivo. - Therapeutic Use of Radiopharmaceuticals Including Labelled Antibodies. - Experimental Approaches and Future Aspects. - Subject Index.
