From the reviews:

"This 20-chapter ... provides a summary description of imaging in patients with cancer. ... serve as an up to date, broad overview of oncologic imaging for radiologists and all involved in oncologic care, particularly oncologists and radiation therapists. ... present a good overview of state-of-the-art imaging for nonimagers involved in oncologic practice, such as radiation oncologists and medical oncologists. For those individuals, Imaging in Oncology offers valuable insights into the most appropriate and effective use of MRI, CT ... in the evaluation of specific tumors." (H. William Strauss, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 301 (2), 2009)

"The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of oncologic imaging and its application to medical and surgical therapies. ... This book is aimed toward radiologists, oncologists, radiation therapists, residents, and fellows in these specialties. Other physicians managing oncology patients can also benefit from the materials presented. ... The chapters are well written and easy to understand, and the references in each chapter are comprehensive." (Aurelio Matamoros Jr., The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2009)
