Abstract
Clinical PET and PET/CT presents a complete book on state-of-the-art integrated PET/CT imaging systems. This practical guide includes in-depth cases that will advance the skills of nuclear physicians, radiologists and oncologists.
Contributors provide the reader with chapters covering the technical and clinical aspects of hybrid imaging, including basic principles, physics and instrumentation, the normal distribution of radiopharmaceuticals, and protocols critical to the field. A comprehensive review of nuclear oncology cases are addressed, including among other clinical applications head and neck tumors, breast cancer, lung neoplasms, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and genitourinary tumors.
Additional chapters examine the use of these modalities in pediatric patients, epileptology, infection, and cardiac hybrid imaging. A wealth of illustrations reinforces the key teaching points discussed throughout the book.
