PET-CT

The PET Imaging Science Center at the University of Southern California is recognized as one of the premier PET centers. The director, Dr. Peter Conti, is a distinguished leader in the field. He and one of his top nuclear medicine fellows, Dr. Daniel Cham, have published one of the first PET-CT case based books. The text is heavily illustrated with original PET-CT images of both common and uncommon cancer cases. Each of the clinical applications is accompanied by a concise explanation of the history, findings, and impression of the PET-CT case. Insightful discussions and "pearls and pitfalls" are included to help physicians gain a better understanding of pathology, diagnosis, and imaging techniques. The reader also finds sections on physiology, technical artifacts, and applications for neurological and cardiovascular disorders. This unique book is ideal for nuclear medicine practitioners, nuclear medicine residents, and clinicians interested in medical imaging.
