Clinical PET: Principles and Applications

Editat de E. Edmund Kim, Myung-Chul Lee, Tomio Inoue, Wai-Hoi Wong
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2010
PET has been a valuable research tool in academic institutions since the '70s, but its move into clinical practice in community hospitals has just begun. PET has undergone spectacular growth in the fields of nuclear medicine, radiology, and oncology. The burgeoning world of PET is reflected in standing room only CME courses at scientific meetings such as the Radiology Society of North America and the Society for Nuclear Medicine.
This book will provide nuclear medicine practitioners, radiologists, oncologists, and neurologists with a practical overview of the basic principles and clinical applications of PET. Emphasis is placed on the familiarization of normal distribution, artefacts, and common imaging agents such as FDG in conjunction with CT, MRI, and US to establish the clinical effectiveness of PET. Practical understanding of updated PET scanners, image process and quantification of PET measurements is also discussed. With contributions from leaders in the PET community, the book deals with the basic principles, instrumentation, fusion, radiopharmaceuticals, radiosynthesis, safety and cost analysis of PET. The clinical section of the book will focus on the technique and indications of PET. There is also a unique atlas as well as comprehensive coverage of essential clinical PET studies in neurology, cardiology, and oncology.

With contributions from leaders in the PET community, the book is a valuable overview of the basic principles and clinical applications of PET. Emphasis is placed on the familiarization of normal distribution, artifacts, and common imaging agents such as FDG in conjunction with CT, MRI, and US to establish the clinical effectiveness of PET. Practical understanding of updated PET scanners, image process and quantification of PET measurements is also discussed. The book is divided into two sections, with the first 7 chapters dealing with the basic principles of PET for instrumentation, fusion, radiopharmaceuticals, radiosynthesis, safety and cost analysis, and the following 16 chapters focusing on the clinical techniques and indications of PET. There is also a unique atlas as well as comprehensive coverage on essential clinical PET studies in neurology, cardiology and oncology.
As PET continues to undergo spectacular growth in the fields of nuclear medicine, radiology, and oncology, "Textbook of Clinical PET" is meant to provide a practical guide that helps nuclear medicine practitioners, radiologists, oncologists, and neurologists navigate the complexity of PET interpretation.
