About the Book

This book is an ideal text on PET imaging technology that focuses on the basics, such as physics, instrumentation, production of PET radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals, and regulations affecting PET. The chapters are concise but comprehensive, making the topic easily understandable, and they are complete with reviews of pertinent basic science and lists of suggested reading. Practical tables and appendixes contain a wealth of valuable data, reflecting the book's usefulness as a reference for nuclear medicine professionals, including physicians, residents, and technologists. The book also benefits technologists and residents preparing for board examinations because of its brevity and clarity of content.

Review :
From the reviews: "Gives a clear and concise overview of basic physics and PET instrumentation, the theory of image processing and attenuation correction, scanner performance and testing, cyclotron production and synthesis of PET radiopharmaceuticals ! . These subjects are not often covered in a single volume and make the book useful ! . up to date as possible in a rapidly evolving field ! . The question and answer sections at the end of each chapter would be an aid in self-learning." (M J Myers, RAD Magazine, July, 2005) "This book presents the fundamentals of PET imaging in a very practical and concise, but also exhaustive way. ! The book is very informative and represents a helpful reference text for nuclear medicine technologists, nuclear medicine residents and nuclear medicine physicians, and, given its clarity and simplicity, for all those willing to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of PET imaging." (M. C. Gilardi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 33 (1), 2006) "This is an up-to-date short manual that reviews the fundamentals of PET imaging. The chapters are sufficiently comprehensive to make the topic easily understandable ! . The text is concise and accompanied by tables, appendixes ! making the book a valuable reference ! . a self-evaluation section is available with a set of short questions that helps the reader to assess the sufficiency of knowledge gained. Residents taking board examinations would particularly benefit ! . Overall, this is an excellent short manual ! ." (A. Manrique, Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, Vol. 27 (4), 2005) "Dr. Gopal B. Saha has written a clear and concise primer on PET. This text would be excellent for technologists, residents, or physicians who want to become familiar with the basics of PET and would also be an ideal reference for anyone preparing for accreditation examinations. ! Several photographs, diagrams, and tables further each discussion. ! I found this book to be of great value both in content and in price." (Colleen M. Nall, Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Vol. 34 (1), 2006)
