Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography: A Disease-Oriented Approach offers Radiologists and Nuclear Medicine specialists a thorough understanding of the clinical application of PET-CT—a groundbreaking modality that provides a powerful fusion of imaging anatomy and metabolic function. Written with a disease-oriented approach, PET-CT examines understanding, using, and interpreting PET-CT imaging in clinical practice. Co-authored by experts in both PET and CT imaging, this text serves as an integrated review of the practical aspects of this new imaging modality while providing comprehensive and evidence-based coverage. This volume covers all clinical entities for which PET-CT can be utilized in today’s modern practice.Using an integrated disease-oriented approach, PET-CT reviews:the diagnostic settings in which PET-CT will prove most valuableliterature-based evidence for utility, applications, and limitations to each diseaseintegrated discussion of the CT findings that will bear on the PET interpretation and vice versanext steps in the clinical evaluation of a patient (i.e., additional imaging studies indicated)Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography also includes a CD packed with every image from the book. With over 340 high resolution photos this makes a perfect addition to both in-depth study and PowerPoint slide presentations.
