Clinical PET and PET/CT

A practical manual covering the full spectrum of PET imaging which is now in common clinical practice. It includes images of normal variants, artefacts, and pathologic conditions. Indications for and the relative clinical value of PET in the armamentarium of diagnostic medical imaging will be reviewed. The information in the book will be arranged in three main sections and will be organized in such a way as to be brief, concise, easy-to-understand and readily accessed. Section III (PET Clinical Applications) will be emphasized over the sections I (PET Physics & Instrumentation) and II, (PET Radiotracers) since it is expected that most readers will be interested in learning the clinical applications. Sections I & II will serve to provide some brief background information before a more detailed clinical section. The market for this book is intended for all health practitioners who need a concise reference and review of PET imaging indications, protocols and clinical applications. The book will be useful to radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and clinicians who refer their patients to PET Centers for diagnostic imaging, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, cardiologists, internists, and oncologists. Radiologic and nuclear medicine technologists, and physicians in training will also benefit from this book. TOC:Section I.
