“Atlas of PET–CT by Stefano Fanti and coworkers is a nice, practically oriented, and well-illustrated compilation of PET–CT clinical cases that will be extremely helpful to nuclear medicine physicians, in particular those training in residency programs. … I strongly recommend this Atlas to be included in the library of all teaching departments. This comprehensive case series will delight all young nuclear medicine specialists in training, avid to see demonstrative cases accompanied by compelling teaching points.” (Ignasi Carrió, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 47, 2020)
