Summary

This practical guide is a comprehensive reference of cases with FDG images obtained on dedicated PET tomographs and hybrid scintillation gamma cameras. Dr. Dominique Delbeke and her collegues at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, along with recognized international experts, provide the reader with in-depth coverage on all aspects of FDG imaging. Unique to this book is the up-to-date coverage on both the technical and clinical aspects of FDG imaging and its cases of those malignancies practitioners are likey to encounter in their daily practice. The text also presents normal and physiologic interpretation of FDG imaging, related pitfalls in imaging interpretation, and the role of FDG imaging in different types of body tumors. Enhanced with over 300 FDG images, this book will serve as an excellent stand-alone guide for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists, and residents in their practice of clinical PET.
