✦ Synopsis

This text is based on the 2nd half of P.E. Valk et al's 2003 bestseller Positron Emission Tomography: Basic Science and Clinical Practice and deals with only the clinical research and applications. "Positron Emission Tomography: Clinical Practice" has 22 fully revised and updated chapters, enhanced by 6 completely new chapters. The abundance of new material makes this an essential volume for anyone training in, or practicing, Nuclear Medicine.

The first chapters summarize the scientific aspects of PET and PET/CT. A chapter on normal variants in FDG PET imaging serves as an introduction to the clinical chapters which cover oncology applications and the impact of FDG PET/CT imaging in oncology, concluding with chapters on PET and PET/CT in cardiology, neurology, PET imaging of infectious processes.

The applications in this book will be useful for residents and trainees in medical imaging specialities and imaging professionals and will also be essential reading for oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists and surgeons.
