Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-62298-4 (ISBN)
PET and PET-CT in Oncology describes the principles of positron emission tomography and is a useful resource for incorporating the technique in clinical practice. In a clear and straightforward fashion, the book offers instructive information and overviews of the basic principles of PET and PET-CT as well as the routine clinical PET scanning procedures for all important oncological indications. It is designed to serve as a reference work for specialists in nuclear medicine and radiology (including therapy planning) and for oncologists. It also provides student and physicians in other medical specialities with a general introduction to the effective integration of this modern technique into routine clinical diagnostics. Above all, this volume illustrates the importance of PET and PET-CT in comparison with other imaging techniques.

From the reviews:
"This PET-CT volume has appeared at a fortuitous time when many are seeking both basic and clinical information on this technique ... . This is a book that will appeal to those in training as well as established nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists." (Professor V R McCready, RAD Magazine, September, 2004)
