Opis

Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts in radiology and nuclear
medicine, this lavishly illustrated handbook presents an evidence-based look at
the most up-to-date image-fusion technology in clinical use today. The authors
combine multislice spiral CT anatomic images with specific sensitive molecular
images of PET in one examination to give readers a full understanding of this
evolving technology.
The book places special emphasis on tumor imaging, with
additional chapters on the imaging of inflammatory, cardiovascular, and
neurodegenerative diseases. Leading clinicians provide systematic discussion of
patient preparation, recommendations for imaging protocols for specific
indications, and examination techniques such as slice orientation and
positioning. To prepare the reader for daily practice, CT and PET-CT scans
appear throughout the text side-by-side with explanations of their
interpretation.

Highlights:

• 616 high-quality images - including 175 in full color -
  complement the text
  
• Easy-to-reference textboxes and sidebars present key
  concepts, pearls, and pitfalls
  
• Detailed summaries at the end of each chapter facilitate
  rapid review
  
• Carefully selected suggestions for further reading at
  the end of each section
  
• A comprehensive glossary of frequently used terms and a
  list of common abbreviations

Ideal for practicing radiologists, radiologic technologists, and radiology residents, PET-CT Hybrid Imaging is an essential reference for
anyone who needs to quickly compare and interpret PET-CT images. It is also an excellent preparation tool for Board examinations.
