I am very happy to see Dr Ghesani's first edition of Nuclear Medicine: A Case-Based Approach. This book presents excellent case-based nuclear medicine studies that should be useful for trainees, practicing physicians, and technologists. Dr Ghesani was able to assemble a team of Section Editors and contributing authors across the world. Not only general nuclear medicine studies, but also nuclear cardiology and PET/CT studies are well-represented in this book. This is a clear reflection of Dr Ghesani's well-regarded expertise in clinical nuclear medicine and also his enthusiasm for nuclear medicine education. I hope this book will be read by many and serve as an indispensable case reference. Congratulations for the publication.

11Preface
Throughout my training and years in practice the concept of case-based learning has appealed me tremendously. While preparing for nuclear medicine and radiology board examinations, I relied heavily on the case-based teaching material, and have supplemented it considerably with my own teaching file cases created over the years. In order to communicate key learning principles, I have published a few of these cases in the form of case reports and have included several others in various sections of this book. It is my sincere hope that the potpourri of cases covering broad areas of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging will enrich and enhance the knowledge of the reader without making the learning process unwieldy.

13Acknowledgments
First and foremost, I acknowledge unconditional support and understanding of my wife and my children in making this book a reality. I acknowledge the contribution of several mentors who have motivated me during my training and my two decades of practice to aim higher. I truly value my interactions with medical students, radiology residents and fellows. In the process of preparing for the conferences and contributing to review sessions, I myself continue to learn tremendously from them.
I am very thankful to Mr Jitendar P Vij (Group Chairman), Mr Ankit Vij (Group President), Ms Chetna Malhotra Vohra (Associate Director), Ms Sheetal Arora Kapoor (Development Editor) and production team of Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd., New Delhi, India for providing me with the exciting opportunity to write this book, for their patience through this journey and for providing kind words of encouragement and support.
