Clinical Pet In Oncology - Proceedings Of The Second International Symposium

3D image reconstruction using a multiring positron emmission tomograph is the most reliable method of detecting cancer. This volume discusses PET, covering issues such as pharmaceuticals for clinical PET and future aspects of the technique.

Three-dimensional image reconstruction using a multi-ring positron emission tomograph (PET) is the most reliable method of detecting primary and metastatic or recurrent cancer, whether qualitatively or quantitatively. With the development of 3D-PET, the PET technique is now feasible not only as a laboratory tool, but also as a clinical instrument. This volume aims to lift the world-wide 'curtain of ignorance' concerning PET.
