PET/CT in Clinical Practice provides guidelines for appropriate use of PET/CT in lung, lymphoma, esophageal, colorectal, head/neck and melanoma, with reference also made to tumors of the male and female reproductive system. Concise, relevant and illustrated with many interesting PET/CT images, each chapter contains a summary of the appropriate staging system. The range of normal PET/CT appearances is outlined in chapter 9. The book focuses on FDG-PET/CT throughout, but chapter 10 makes reference to the future application of other positron emitters and gives a beginners guide to the physics of PET/CT. Everyone from medical student to consultant oncologist will be touched by this modality and all will need to understand its strengths and weaknesses. The book is essential reading for all consultants and medical students in radiology, nuclear medicine and oncology.
