Description
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a rapidly emerging technology for physiological and biochemical imaging in vivo. This book
contains the most recent and comprehensive scientific works in the field of PET. It includes current topics in clinical and basic aspects
of PET studies which were presented at the International PET Symposium in Hokkaido last year.
Written by both international PET professionals
and young Japanese investigators, this monograph will be helpful for understanding recent advances in PET chemistry and instrumentation,
optimum measurement of tissue functions, and better strategy for patient management. A summary of the current research trends and clinical
use of this elegant technology is included.
Since over 200 PET centers in the world are actively involved in basic research and clinical
services, this publication will be of value to a wide variety of medical professionals who have and will have benefits of PET technology.
Audience
Medical professionals working with Positron Emission Tomography
