Using SWOT analysis, this book examines in detail the strengths and
weaknesses of the hybrid modalities PET-CT and PET-MRI for imaging
of the central nervous system, comparing their merits and
evaluating their advantages over the stand-alone modalities. The
aim is to employ a truly systematic approach in order to define the
potential clinical benefit of these modalities and to identify
shortcomings, opportunities, and threats. Clinical application of
the modalities is explored in a range of conditions, including
dementia and related disorders, movement disorders, psychiatric
disorders, cerebrovascular disease, infection/inflammation, brain
tumors, and pediatric neurologic disorders. In addition, the basics
of hybrid imaging are addressed, covering physics, instrumentation,
data analysis and quantitation, radiopharmaceuticals, and contrast
media. PET-CT and PET-MRI in Neurology, written by experts from
Europe and the United States, will be essential reading for imaging
specialists and of value for neurologists, psychiatrists,
neurosurgeons, and pediatricians.
