Molecular Anatomic Imaging PET-CT and SPECT-CT Integrated Modality Imaging, with DVD (2^nd Ed.)

This fully updated Second Edition focuses sharply on clinical PET-CT and SPECT-CT examinations, omitting lengthy physics discussions. The book is now strictly disease oriented and integrates PET-CT and SPECT-CT applications completely. When both techniques are relevant for a disease, they are discussed together, when only one is relevant, it is discussed alone. More than 1,200 illustrations are included.

A bound-in DVD contains over 80 cases to be viewed in three orthogonal planes and different CT windows organized as reference and self-assessment files. The cases provide excellent training and allow readers to test their abilities in making diagnoses on their own.
