Produktbeschreibung

Cardiac PET and hybrid PET/CT have revolutionized the field of cardiovascular imaging and offer new options for diagnosis and management of patients with cardiac conditions. Cardiologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine specialists must have an up-to-date reference in this rapidly changing field in order to most effectively utilize new technology in practice. Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging takes a step-by-step approach to PET and PET/CT instrumentation, imaging, and protocols. Beginning with imaging fundamentals and progressing through advanced discussion of specific applications, this book is a comprehensive source of cardiac PET and PET/CT information. Sections written by and for technologists as well as discussion of MRI and other imaging modalities add to the well-rounded scope of this book. A library of original cases and several hundred illustrations, many in color, complete the text by highlighting interpretation and technical challenges in cardiac PET and PET/CT.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging is a comprehensive, informative, up-to-date, state-ofthe-art textbook on newer cardiac imaging technologies and also provides valuable insight into the future of cardiac imaging. ... Tables and other nonimage figures are well displayed, relevant, and easy to understand. ... the book is a must-have for cardiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and radiologists involved in cardiac imaging and is useful for readers at all levels, from residents to fellows to medical practitioners. ... will be a useful addition to medical and hospital libraries." (Usha A. Joseph, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 49 (6), June, 2008)

"Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging is a comprehensive and clinically oriented up-to-date textbook in cardiac nuclear medicine. ... I found Cardiac PET and PET/CT Imaging to be an excellent, comprehensive, and authoritative cardiac nuclear medicine reference textbook. It is primarily written for clinicians who are involved in the diagnosis and management of patients with heart disease. This book will make a welcome addition to the medical library of any imaging physician who reads cardiac nuclear medicine studies." (Michael J. Blend, Radiology, Vol. 254 (3), March, 2010)
