Description:
This Fourth Edition reflects the significant recent progress that
has occurred in the field of functional brain imaging, particularly the
increased use of PET/SPECT, the use of SPECT and PET in movement
disorders and dementia, and advances in radiopharmaceutical development
and instrumentation. Chapter topics include PET physics and
instrumentation, PET radiopharmaceuticals, SPECT radiopharmaceuticals,
and technical factors. The entire book has been thoroughly
revised to reflect an appropriate balance between SPECT and PET
applications. Highlights of this edition include a new chapter on
neuroreceptor imaging and kinetic modeling, a new chapter on brain
imaging in movement disorders, and significant updates on SPECT
radiopharmaceuticals. Table of Contents: Section I: GENERAL ASPECTS OF SPECT/PET BRAIN IMAGING
