Beschreibung
At last, here is a comprehensive compilation of the accumulated knowledge on PET and PET/CT in oncology.
It covers the entire spectrum from solidly documented indications, such as staging and monitoring of lung and colorectal cancer, to the application of PET/CT in head and neck surgery, gynecology, radiation therapy, urology, pediatrics and others.
The chapters are supplemented by an introduction into the underlying techniques of both imaging devices and radiopharmacy.
In the management of oncologic diseases, modern imaging modalities contribute heavily to the decision of which form of treatment – local or systemic, surgical or interdisciplinary – will be most efficient.
The addition of functional image information to conventional staging procedures helps improve the diagnostic pathway.
The information needed for therapeutic management and for follow-up can be provided by correlative imaging such as positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) or PET/CT.
Since therapeutic strategies are changing, the characterization of molecular processes, as delivered by nuclear medicine procedures, become more and more important. This book is at the heart of the debate.
