"This book is part of a trilogy that deals with the applications of PET and SPECT in neurosciences ... . We strongly recommend this book to ... those working in neuroscience, such as psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians, nuclear physicians, neuroradiologists and psychologists. The book may also appeal and be useful to general practitioners, basic researchers and others. ... should be available in all university libraries to act as bait to attract brilliant young minds to the field of neuroimaging."
