This book offers a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of the
basic science underlying PET and
its preclinical and clinical applications in modern medicine. In
addition, it provides the reader with a sound understanding of
the scientific principles and use of PET in routine practice and
biomedical imaging research. The opening sections address the
fundamental physics, radiation safety, CT scanning dosimetry, and
dosimetry of PET radiotracers, chemistry and regulation of PET
radiopharmaceuticals, with information on labeling strategies,
tracer quality control, and regulation of radiopharmaceutical
production in Europe and the United States. PET physics and
instrumentation are then discussed, covering the basic principles
of PET and PET scanning systems, hybrid PET/CT and PET/MR
imaging, system calibration, acceptance testing, and quality
control. Subsequent sections focus on image reconstruction,
processing, and quantitation in PET and hybrid PET and on imaging
artifacts and correction techniques, with particular attention to
partial volume correction and motion artifacts. The book closes
by examining clinical applications of PET and hybrid PET and
their physiological and/or molecular basis in conjunction with
technical foundations in the disciplines of oncology, cardiology
and neurology, PET in pediatric malignancy and its role in
radiotherapy treatment planning.
