PET/CT: Essentials for Clinical Practice, edited by Drs. Workman and Coleman, provides an introductory reference source for physicians who want to learn more about PET/CT, as well as for medical students and residents who are involved in the rapidly growing ?eld of PET/CT. The ?rst two chapters of the text outline the basic principles involved in patient preparation, imaging interpretation, and reimbursement. The remainder of the text provides information necessary to make a learned and informed de- sion with regard to the appropriate use of PET/CT in oncologic, cardiac, and neurologic disorders. An important factor in determining the value of any text is the knowledge and credentials of the editors. Dr. Coleman’s background as a leader in the ?elds of nuclear medicine, PET, PET/CT, and reimbursement places him at the fo- front in the knowledge of the subject matter. Dr. Workman, having trained with Dr. Coleman, is eminently suited to co-edit a text of this nature. PET/CT: Essentials for Clinical Practice is a well-written introductory text, and it provides fundamental information to improve understanding and clinical applications of this rapidly-evolving imaging modality. The next decade will involve the ?eld of functional/molecular imaging with a variety of innovative instrumentation developments, allowing us to examine smaller components of the human body with greater accuracy.

PET and PET-CT in Oncology describes the principles of positron emission tomography and is a useful resource for incorporating the technique in clinical practice. In a clear and straightforward fashion, the book offers instructive information and overviews of the basic principles of PET and PET-CT as well as the routine clinical PET scanning procedures for all important oncological indications. It is designed to serve as a reference work for specialists in nuclear medicine and radiology (including therapy planning) and for oncologists. It also provides student and physicians in other medical specialities with a general introduction to the effective integration of this modern technique into routine clinical diagnostics. Above all, this volume illustrates the importance of PET and PET-CT in comparison with other imaging techniques.

PET in Clinical Oncology describes the use of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) in the diagnosis and management of malignant tumors. Experts from Germany and the United States present basics, technical details, and clinical aspects for both standard and new PET techniques. The book illustrates the importance of PET in comparison to other imaging techniques.Generously supplemented with charts, tables, and illustrations, each chapter provides the reader with well-delineated descriptions, from the basic technical situation through the clinical use of PET. This book is helpful to all those dealing with the diagnosis and therapy of cancer.
