This book is specifically designed to meet the needs of practicing radiologists. Chapters are written by radiologists who appreciate and understand both PET and CT. The emphasis on an integrated understanding of PET-CT as a combined modality is reflected throughout, especially in discussions of physics, scanning protocols, and image interpretation. Incorporated into this sensible approach is a regard for how to effectively apply PET-CT in patient management. Radiologists will learn how to provide oncologists with the information they need. Clinical topics include PET-CT of thoracic malignancies, melanoma, and breast cancer. Fundamental concepts, such as the role of imaging diagnosis in disease management, are reinforced in each clinical chapter. With its practical, unified approach to PET-CT, this comprehensive book is an unparalleled resource for practicing radiologists and residents. Logical organization and a wealth of illustrations supplement the text’s user-friendly appeal.
