This book is mainly intended for residents and young physicians in Nuclear Medicine, Oncology and Gynaecology, as well as other professionals interested in this area. It covers the application of several relevant nuclear medicine procedures for malignancies affecting the female reproductive system and the breast. To date, there has never been a nuclear medicine textbook specifically focused on this topic, which this work seeks to remedy. In recent years, certain nuclear medicine procedures have proven to be extremely valuable for the diagnosis and staging of gynaecological malignancies and breast cancer. The book provides a comprehensive and structured review of these procedures, accompanied by a summary of the respective issues, making it a valuable asset for students, instructors and practitioners alike.
