PET-CT

From the reviews:

" The editors of this timely volume have got together a group of contributors and produced a highly educational resource for the practising radiologist. All types of cancer are covered, including excellent sections on the brain, gynaecological malignancies, oesophageal cancer, lung tumours etc. The production of the book is excellent with excellent layout and beautiful, high quality images throughout. The pearls and pitfalls sections in each case are particularly useful, as is the discussion. I have found reading this book an invaluable introduction to this new clinical tool. It should be required reading for all who are embarking on clinical practice in this area and also for others who are interested in its application in oncology. The textbook deserves to be a success and a standard introductory textbook in this field. " (RAD Magazine, September, 2005)

" This book is extremely timely, given the great success and rapid diffusion of PET-CT. The authors, supported by numerous qualified co-workers, have used their considerable experience in the performance and interpretation of PET-CT . The entire field of application, from the brain to gynaecological pathology, is considered clearly and comprehensively. this book will be of value not only to beginners and/or residents but also to experts .
