This brand new book discusses the most relevant technique or combination thereof for each disease and provides guidance on which modality to use -It is a disease oriented reference meant for interpreting integrated imaging studies. While it focuses on PET-CT and SPECT-CT, it also integrates PET-MR were applicable. Features: Allows clinical hybrid imaging users to compare modalities and decide whether to use PET/CT, PET/MR or SPECT/CT to solve a clinical question. Focus on clinical applications sans technological & radiopharmaceutical details. Inclusion of emerging field of PET/MR. New PART III on workflow and normal scans with various clinical tracers. Only book that incorporates PET/MR in a systematic way.
