a nicely written thin book on PET. all of the images were acquired using a GE PET Advance but this shouldn't deter siemens or other brand users. the first few chapters on the economics on putting up a PET scanner and cyclotron unit are a waste due to the different conditions existing in different countries. they should have spent more pages on cardiac PET. there is adequate coverage of neuro PET. oncologic PET, understandably, will never be enough as the science is still rapidly progressing. but this book should whet one's appetite for the other clinical oncology PET books around. i would have wanted a few chapters devoted to cyclotron and radiopharmacy operation since this is what a lot of PET MDs lack.

Positron Emission Tomography is a non invasive, diagnostic imaging technique for measuring the metabolic activity of cells in the human body. It is useful clinically in patients with certain conditions affecting the brain and the heart as well as in patients with certain types of cancer. The field of PET has been quickly emerging into clinical diagnostic medicine. PET has been in clinical use since the early 1990s.

This is a very good book. This book covers from Basic to date advances in PET. All physical fields are describe. This book should be used as hand book of basic sicence of PETSCAN
