Overview
This volume on cardiovascular PET describes and discusses in detail the evolution of PET, from an exciting research tool to an accepted clinical modality in the field of cardiovascular diseases. This contribution provides in-depth information about the technical as well as biologic aspects of PET cardiology. The volume combines the discussions of experimental and clinical PET approaches in order to provide guidelines for their best use in a given clinical situation.
Cardiac Positron Emission Tomography addresses primarily physicians in nuclear medicine, cardiology, and internal medicine, who want to become familiar with the clinical application of positron emission tomography in cardiovascular disease.
The book contains both black-and-white and color illustrations.

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides high resolution and sensitive imaging of in vivo physiological and biochemical processes. The 37 contributors in this volume describe and discuss cardiovascular PET and its evolution from a research tool to a clinical modality, presenting in-depth information about technical and biological aspects, as well a clinical use. Among the specific topics discussed are the quantitative evaluation of myocardial perfusion, the assessment of tissue viability, a comparison of SPECT and PET for assessment, and applications in nonischemic heart disease and heart failure. The appendix contains clinical PET protocols, and the text includes color photographs of images. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)2 Stars from Doody
