Description
This user-friendly atlas demonstrates all of the major clinical applications of PET scanning. Its case-based approach?with teaching points, pitfalls, and "mimics"?presents all of the material in a concise and practical manner. And, correlative cross-sectional images illustrate the clinical features depicted in PET findings.
