From the reviews of the second edition:“The main objective is to provide a valuable reference for clinicians and trainees in the use of PET and PET/CT in clinical practice. The book achieves its goals. It is written for practitioners in nuclear medicine, radiology, oncology, cardiology, and neurology. It also is intended as a reference for trainees in these fields, especially nuclear medicine and radiology. … Overall, this is a good reference on the subject and is a high quality book.” (Bennett S. Greenspan, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
