PET/CT in Brain Disorders (Clinicians’ Guides to Radionuclide Hybrid Imaging) 1st Edition (2019) (PDF) by Francesco Fraioli

Description

This well-illustrated pocket book offers up-to-date guidance on the clinical and research applications of PET/CT in the most common neurological and neuro-oncological disorders. The opening chapters cover the pros and cons of widely used radiological imaging techniques, scanners, and radiopharmaceuticals, with emphasis on the state of the art hybrid modalities, primarily PET/CT but also PET/MRI. Helpful information is provided on the clinical and research tracers used in neurodegenerative diseases, movement disorders, epilepsy and brain tumours. These four killers are then discussed in detail, highlighting the role of PET/CT and targeted tracers in their assessment and in radiotherapy planning. In addition, the clinical applications of PET/MRI are considered. Throughout, many images are included to better explain the diseases and the role of hybrid imaging, and the final chapter presents a large sample of teaching cases and files that will assist in daily clinical practice. The book has been compiled under the auspices of the British Nuclear Medicine Society. It will be an excellent asset for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, radiographers, neurologists and neurosurgeons.

physician with a special interest in oncology and neuroimaging. He is
Associate Professor t in Metabolism & Experimental Therapeutics at the
Faculty of Medical Sciences, University College London (UCL) and a medical
consultant and radiologist at the UCL Hospital. Since his appointment at
UCL he has focused on several brain domains, including dementia, brain
tumours, PET/MRI and new tracers. With the aid of recognized colleagues,
and under the auspices of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, Dr. Fraioli
has developed this pocket guide to brain imaging, the main aim of which is
to assist radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians in dealing with the
most common brain disorders during daily clinical practice. A wide range of
images have been collected with the intention of providing a reference
atlas for all who work in neuro-imaging.
