Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging de Marcello F. Di Carli

Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging

Editat de Marcello F. Di Carli, Martin J. Lipton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 aug 2007
This book presents the most up-to-date information on the practice of cardiac PET and hybrid PET/CT. Each chapter takes a step-by-step approach, from basic principles of instrumentation, imaging, and protocols to advanced discussions of current and future clinical applications. Coverage also includes a perspective on other emerging imaging modalities, such as MRI, and the relative role of each. In addition, the volume details the technical aspects of cardiac PET and PET/CT imaging. A library of original cases completes the text by illustrating interpretation and technical challenges in cardiac PET and hybrid PET/CT.

Descriere

When the history of medicine in the latter half of the twentieth century is written, the advances in cardiovascular diagnosis, therapy, and prevention will stand out as one of the most important achievements. Although the age-corrected death rate secondary to coronary artery disease has declined substantially in industri- ized nations during this period, the prevalence of these conditions remains stubbornly high because of the aging of the population. Importantly, the incidence of coronary events and of one of their most important sequelae—heart failure—is rising ala- ingly in the developing world. When viewed from a global perspective, cardiovascular disease is assuming a progressively greater importance, and it is estimated that by 2025 it will be, for the ? rst time in human history, the most common cause of death. Clearly, rather than resting on the laurels of our achievements, an intensi? cation of the battle against cardiovascular disease must now be undertaken. Cardiovascular imaging will, without question, play a critical role in this battle. The appropriate sel- tion of therapeutic measures, be they pharmacologic, catheter-based, surgical, alte- tions in lifestyles, or some combination of these, depends on accurate assessments of both cardiac structure and function. Increasingly, the changes that dictate mana- ment are quite subtle and require a level of precision that was not available to cli- cians heretofore.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging is a comprehensive, informative, up-to-date, state-ofthe-art textbook on newer cardiac imaging technologies and also provides valuable insight into the future of cardiac imaging. ... Tables and other nonimage figures are well displayed, relevant, and easy to understand. ... the book is a must-have for cardiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and radiologists involved in cardiac imaging and is useful for readers at all levels, from residents to fellows to medical practitioners. ... will be a useful addition to medical and hospital libraries." (Usha A. Joseph, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 49 (6), June, 2008)
“Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging is a comprehensive and clinically oriented up-to-date textbook in cardiac nuclear medicine. … I found Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging to be an excellent, comprehensive, and authoritative cardiac nuclear medicine reference textbook. It is primarily written for clinicians who are involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with heart disease. This book will make a welcome addition to the medical library of any imaging physician who reads cardiac nuclear medicine studies.” (Michael J. Blend, Radiology, Vol. 254 (3), March, 2010)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Cardiac PET and hybrid PET/CT have revolutionized the field of cardiovascular imaging and offer new options for diagnosis and management of patients with cardiac conditions. Cardiologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine specialists must have an up-to-date reference in this rapidly changing field in order to most effectively utilize new technology in practice. Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging takes a step-by-step approach to PET and PET/CT instrumentation, imaging, and protocols. Beginning with imaging fundamentals and progressing through advanced discussion of specific applications, this book is a comprehensive source of cardiac PET and PET/CT information. Sections written by and for technologists as well as discussion of MRI and other imaging modalities add to the well-rounded scope of this book. A library of original cases and several hundred illustrations, many in color, complete the text by highlighting interpretation and technical challenges in cardiac PET and PET/CT.
