Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A critical summary of the state of the art of PET technology and related disciplines (camera physics, radiochemistry, radiopharmacology, computerised brain atlases and databases, etc.), plus a survey of the most recent developments in the clinical and neuroscience applications of PET. The chapters systematically guide the reader from the basics of the technique - including new camera designs, new drugs, and new statistical and image processing approaches - through its most important clinical applications - in neurology, psychiatry and oncology - to the most sophisticated neuroscience applications, including research into human sensory and motor systems, the functional organisation of imagery, volition, attention and consciousness in the human brain.

Book News Annotation:

Comprises 32 contributions from the October 1996 conference. The first section is devoted to the question of how to develop and run a positron emission tomography center. Other papers cover such topics as recent trends in PET camera designs, the renin-angiotensin system, whole body scanning, and PET in oncology, neuropharmacology, and neuroscience research. Appends a list of PET centers around the world. Many papers include a few b&w PET scans, and the volume concludes with 14 color reproductions of some of the same scans.
