Topics include basic physics of PET imaging; scanning systems; data acquisition; storage and display; PET radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals; regulatory policies for PET radiopharmaceuticals; reimbursement for PET procedures; and performance of PET studies. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated and includes information on magnetic resonance scanners; PET/MR imaging; new positron emitting radionuclides with potential for human use; new PET radiopharmaceuticals; FDA and NRC regulations for PET radiopharmaceuticals; and special topics of interest, such as SUV calculation in 18F-FDG tumor imaging. The book also includes equations, sample problems, and practice questions. Basics of PET Imaging, Third Edition, is an ideal resource for nuclear medicine physicians, residents, and technologists. –This text refers to the paperback edition. About the Author Gopal B. Saha, PhD Emeritus Staff Department of Nuclear Medicine The Cleveland Clinic Cleveland, OH 44195, USA Dr. Saha is the author of three critically acclaimed books in nuclear medicine: Basics of PET Imaging; Fundamentals of Nuclear Pharmacy, 6/e (978-1-4419-5859-4); and Physics and Radiobiology of Nuclear Medicine, 4/e (978-1-4614-4011-6). –This text refers to the paperback edition. Review From the reviews: “Gives a clear and concise overview of basic physics and PET instrumentation, the theory of image processing and attenuation correction, scanner performance and testing, cyclotron production and synthesis of PET radiopharmaceuticals … . These subjects are not often covered in a single volume and make the book useful … . up to date as possible in a rapidly evolving field … . The question and answer sections at the end of each chapter would be an aid in self-learning.” (M J Myers, RAD Magazine, July, 2005) “This book presents the fundamentals of PET imaging in a very practical and concise, but also exhaustive way. … The book is very informative and represents a helpful reference text for nuclear medicine technologists, nuclear medicine residents and nuclear medicine physicians, and, given its clarity and simplicity, for all those willing to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of PET imaging.” (M. C. Gilardi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 33 (1), 2006) “This is an up-to-date short manual that reviews the fundamentals of PET imaging. The chapters are sufficiently comprehensive to make the topic easily understandable … . The text is concise and accompanied by tables, appendixes … making the book a valuable reference … . a self-evaluation section is available with a set of short questions that helps the reader to assess the sufficiency of knowledge gained. Residents taking board examinations would particularly benefit … . Overall, this is an excellent short manual … .” (A. Manrique, Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, Vol. 27 (4), 2005) “Dr. Gopal B. Saha has written a clear and concise primer on PET. This text would be excellent for technologists, residents, or physicians who want to become familiar with the basics of PET and would also be an ideal reference for anyone preparing for accreditation examinations. … Several photographs, diagrams, and tables further each discussion. … I found this book to be of great value both in content and in price.” (Colleen M. Nall, Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Vol. 34 (1), 2006) –This text refers to the hardcover edition. Read more

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is WONDERFUL! It touches on everything you need to know about PET in a very clear and concise manner. I used it for studing for my PET Certification and it was by far the most helpful book. The questions at the end of each chapter were also very helpful. I have recommended this book to every PET and nuclear medicine tech I meet.

⭐The best book of its kind

⭐Systematically demonstrates all about PET imaging. From the basic physics that one needs to understand before the more advanced information.
