Opis

Neurological applications of PET include using it to identify Alzheimer's Disease, including differentiating between other forms of Dementia, to show causes of seizures that were otherwise unclear, and to diagnose psychiatric disorders like Schizophrenia. Although other  books on PET may have a chapter or section on neurological applications, this is the only comprehensive and up-to-date book on neurological PET. It reviews PET in neuroscience with particular emphasis on findings that indicate its potential for improving diagnosis and treatment in neurology and psychiatry. Improving the transfer of the huge scientific developments in brain PET into clinical care will produce tangible human benefit. To this end, NeuroPET focuses on practical and potentially clinically relevant issues and identify solid ground as well as open questions. In addition, the book includes major chapters on the methodological background, including tracer physiology and kinetic modeling, and a comprehensive literature review. Included in this extremely useful package is a CD-ROM that features video clips and interactive navigation in 3D data sets that illustrate the information contained in PET images in major neurological diseases and its potential to improve diagnosis and neurosurgical planning in brain tumors.

 

 

Recenzje

From the reviews:

This is the most comprehensive book written to date which reviews applications of PET in brain disorders, measurements of regional brain function, molecular imaging and PET methodology.

Rarer states are reviewed as well as those not normally considered as presenting with functional brain lesions such as pain and migraine.

For those with clinical PET facilities, this book will indentify how this technology could be exploited for the care of brain disorder patients.

RAD Magazine, December, 2005

"This book is by world authorities in both the methodology of positron emission tomography (PET) and its applications in clinical neurology. According to the authors, it is intended to ‘guide both nuclear medicine specialists and also neurologists and psychiatrists in the use of PET’; I assume they also meant to include neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists and clinical neuroscientists. … This book is unique in its kind. … it will prove an invaluable source of historical information about one of the major revolutions in understanding brain diseases." (J. –C. Baron, Acta Neurochirurgica, Vol. 147, 2005)
