Edited by Dominique Delbeke and Ora Israel, this practical guide offers in-depth case studies on advanced PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging for nuclear medicine and radiology professionals. It covers technical aspects, protocols, and a variety of clinical applications, including oncology and cardiac imaging, supported by numerous illustrations.
PRACTICAL FDG IMAGING provides the reader with a reference source of cases with FDG images obtained both on dedicated PET tomographs and hybrid scintillation cameras. The cases are presented in thorough depth so that they are of value to both specialists and residents in training who need to learn the indications and interpretations of FDG images and the advantages and limitations of hybrid scintillation cameras compared to dedicated PET tomographs. This book is ideal for nuclear and radiology medicine residents, as well as those practitioners who need to become familiar with this technology. The first part of the book concentrates on the technical aspects of FDG imaging. Part two is devoted to the clinical applications in the fields of neurology, cardiology and oncology.
