AL Gr a wa n y
, Hybrid imaging with PET/CT and SPECT/CT provides high-quality information on
function and structure, thereby permitting accurate localization, characterization,
and diagnosis. There is extensive evidence to support the value of PET/CT, which
has made a significant impact on oncological imaging and the management of
patients with cancer. The evidence in favor of SPECT/CT, especially for orthopaedic
indications, is evolving and increasing. This pocket book series on hybrid imaging
(PET/CT and SPECT/CT) is specifically aimed at referring clinicians, nuclear
medicine/radiology physicians, radiographers/technologists, and nurses who
routinely work in nuclear medicine and participate in multidisciplinary meetings.
The series will include 18 pocket books on PET/CT and 3 on SPECT/CT. Compiled
under the auspices of the British Nuclear Medicine Society, the series is the joint
work of many colleagues and professionals worldwide who share a common vision
and purpose in promoting and supporting nuclear medicine as an important imaging
specialty for the diagnosis and management of oncological and non-oncological
conditions.
The PET/CT pocket book series will be dedicated to some of the Society's
recently departed peers, including Prof Ignac Fogelman, Dr Muriel Buxton-Thomas
and Prof Ajit K Padhy
