      abstract = {This open access book provides basic concepts on  Integrated Diagnostics and Theranostics with special  emphasis on different human thyroid diseases. Thyroid  diseases are increasingly detected (incidentally in many  cases) but are clinically negligible in a significant  proportion of patients. Accordingly, it is urgent to move  from the simple disease detection to a reliable disease  characterization in order to concentrate efforts on  patients in need of tailored disease management. The  current scenario of in vitro and in vivo diagnostics, is  fastly moving toward the Integrated Diagnostics (i.e.  convergence of imaging, pathology and laboratory tests with  advanced information technology). Furthermore, the  integration of different information will aid clinicians to  properly select treatments and stratify patients' prognosis  over time. Theranostics is a perfect paradigm of such  integrated approach and radioiodine, indicated for benign  and malignant thyroid disease management, was the first and  is still the mostly used theranostic agent in medicine.  Featuring basics concepts and clinical cases discussions  the Atlas will be an invaluable tool for clinicians,  laboratory specialists, imaging physicians and biomedical  technologists involved in diagnosis and therapy of thyroid  diseases.},
