By Peter S. Conti, Aarti Kaushik
This booklet offers unique case stories played on devoted PET-CT units and showcases universal and unusual cancers and the most recent PET-CT functions for neurological, pediatric, and cardiovascular problems. This authoritative publication, now in its moment version, provides correlative 3-dimensional cross-sectional puppy and CT photos that spotlight pathological findings. every one case instance is followed by way of a concise rationalization of the sufferer heritage and interpretation of the PET-CT research. "Pearls and pitfalls" and insightful discussions are incorporated to help within the realizing of pathology, analysis, and imaging techniques. The booklet additionally discusses pathophysiology and technical artifacts and summarizes the benefits and boundaries of utilizing this know-how within the medical environment. PET-CT: A Case-Based Approach, moment variation, is a worthwhile source for nuclear drugs practitioners, radiologists, and citizens, in addition to referring clinicians attracted to studying extra approximately how this imaging modality should be utilized of their sufferer populations.
Peter S. Conti is a Professor of Radiology and the Director of the puppy Imaging technology heart on the collage of Southern California, and is a Fellow of either the yankee collage of Radiology and American university of Nuclear Physicians. he's a pioneer within the improvement of the scientific functions of puppy and PET-CT.
