Description:
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.
This book is a comprehensive compilation of the accumulated
knowledge on PET and PET/CT in oncology, covering 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 etc.
It is aimed at nuclear medicine and radiology specialists as well as
physicians interested in the possibilities and limitations of PET and
PET/CT in oncology.
