✦ Synopsis

This fully updated Second Edition is perfect for clinicians, as it focuses sharply on clinical PET-CT and SPECT-CT examinations, omitting lengthy physics discussions. The book is now strictly disease oriented and integrates PET-CT and SPECT-CT applications completely. When both techniques are relevant for a disease, they are discussed together; when only one is relevant, it is discussed alone. More than 1,200 illustrations document the use of integrated imaging and provide very useful reference material for interpreting integrated imaging studies.

A bound-in DVD contains over 80 cases to be viewed in three orthogonal planes and different CT windows organized as reference and self-assessment files. The cases provide excellent training and self-assessment material. Readers can use the DVD to enhance the book's illustrations or to test their abilities in making diagnoses on their own.
