A Practical Handbook of Endocrine Imaging is to help professionals who are not familiar with the exact role and ability of imaging in endocrine diseases. In particular, the strengths and weaknesses of different imaging modalities, their order of selection and application in endocrine diseases. Imaging is not conventionally included in medical school training and during specialist training. Understanding which imaging test to use, exactly what clinical question is addressed is key to timely diagnosis of disease. This book is a quick reference to select the order and type of imaging, to be guided through clinical scenarios with relevant imaging pathways.
