Review

From the reviews:

"This PET-CT volume has appeared at a fortuitous time when many are seeking both basic and clinical information on this technique ... . This is a book that will appeal to those in training as well as established nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists." (Professor V R McCready, RAD Magazine, September, 2004)
