Bol Partner The use of positron emission tomography (PET) in clinical practice is key to the s- cessful management of many patients with a wide variety of diseases. This text is based on the second half of P.E. Valk et al’s 2003 bestseller Positron Emission Tomography: Basic Science and Clinical Practice and deals with only the clinical research and applications. Positron Emission Tomography: Clinical Practice consists of twenty-two fully revised and thoroughly updated chapters enhanced further by six entirely new chapters. The abundance of new material makes this book an essential volume for anyone training in, or practicing, Nuclear Medicine. The first chapters of this book summarize the scientific aspects of PET and PET/CT including physics, instrumentation, radiation dosimetry and radiation protection. A chapter on normal variants in FDG PET imaging serves as an introduction to the clinical chapters. The clinical chapters cover a wide range of oncology applications and they have been updated to include the impact of FDG PET/CT imaging in oncology. Two chapters address imaging with tracers other than FDG, such as an hypoxic tracer. The book concludes with chapters on the use of PET and PET/CT in cardiology and neurology. A chapter on PET imaging of infectious processes is also included. The applications in this book will be useful for residents and those training in medical imaging specialties, as well as imaging professionals in private or academic practice who need to become familiar with this technology and its applications. This book will also be essential reading for those whose specialties carry over to PET and PET/CT, such as oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists and surgeons. This book provides a contemporary reference work covering the science and clinical applications of PET, especially PET/CT technology. The 1st part covers the basic aspects of PET and PET/CT including physics, instrumentation, radiation dosimetry and protection. The 2nd part deals with the central nervous system technology and the 3rd part addresses the cardio-respiratory systems including a new chapter on cardiac PET/CT viewed by some experts as the future one-stop-shop cardiac examination. The 4th part focuses on oncology and contains new data related to the PET/CT technology and illustrations. Finally, 2 chapters are devoted to infectious diseases, 1 to PET imaging in pediatric disorders and 2 chapters to technology evaluation. For residents and fellows training in medical imaging specialties as well as experts in private or academic practice who need to become familiar with this technology and those whose specialties carry over to PET and PET/CT - oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists and surgeons.
