"This resource presents a helpful introduction to PETMR and is of interest to both the trainee and general radiologist. The enthusiasm of the authors for this novel imaging technique is clearly evident throughout the book and could serve as inspiration to the aspiring trainee to follow a dual-speciality training pathway in both nuclear medicine and neuroradiology."
