This text discusses the role of F-FDG-PET as a tumour-finding technique with widespread applicability to cancers derived from the endoderm, mesoderm and ectodermal cell types, and compares it with CT or MRI. The book includes an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, covers the role of nitrates as important ancillary drugs for the detection of viable myocardium, and discusses acute myocardial infarction imaging; it also refers to a radiopharmacological agent which may provide answers in a specific and clinically-relevant fashion.
