Written by the best-known authority in positron emission tomography (PET), this comprehensive text is the first definitive reference in the field in almost twenty years. The book thoroughly explains the principles, clinical applications, and economic aspects of positron emission tomography today, enabling readers to make well- informed cost/benefit decisions and use PET as an effective diagnostic tool.

Coverage includes extensive discussions of current oncologic, neurologic, psychiatric, and cardiac applications. An entire section gives readers a preview of emerging applications of PET in gene therapy, nephrology, pediatrics, infection/inflammation imaging, skeletal imaging, and pulmonary medicine. An appendix provides specific protocols for clinical PET imaging.
