Pet: Molecular Imaging and Its Biological Applications (2004)

From the "inventor of PET," this book is a comprehensive guide to PET and PET CT and serves as a valuable resource for practicing physicians and residents. The text covers topics ranging from the basic principles of physics, molecular assays, preparation of molecular imaging probes, and biochemistry relevant for PET. Additionally, clinical applications in cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders are thoroughly discussed. All of the contributors to this book are UCLA School of Medicine faculty members and have combined their areas of expertise to create the premier reference on PET. Each chapter provides a complete overview of the topic and guides the reader through the subject matter. Figures, tables, and solved example problems are integrated into the text.
