Product Description
This practical guide is a comprehensive reference of cases with FDG images obtained on dedicated PET tomographs and hybrid scintillation gamma cameras. Dr. Dominique Delbeke and her collegues at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, along with recognized international experts, provide the reader with in-depth coverage on all aspects of FDG imaging. Unique to this book is the up-to-date coverage on both the technical and clinical aspects of FDG imaging and its cases of those malignancies practitioners are likey to encounter in their daily practice. The text also presents normal and physiologic interpretation of FDG imaging, related pitfalls in imaging interpretation, and the role of FDG imaging in different types of body tumors. Enhanced with over 300 FDG images, this book will serve as an excellent stand-alone guide for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, oncologists, and residents in their practice of clinical PET.

Delbeke et al hit a home run June 4, 2002
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Textbooks are usually out of date by the time they are in print. Not so with Delbeke et al's new Practical FDG Imaging! This book is not only timely but excellent, written by outstanding clinical physicians and physicists who are also world-reknown educators. It is a very practical, "real world" book that is released at a critical time of explosive growth in FDG PET imaging. It stands alone in filling a badly needed niche in the education of imagers using this new technology.The early chapters on the history of PET and the physics of PET are very helpful in understanding the basic science and political milieu involved in the subject. It is sad that this technology, with so much to offer suffering patients, has been held back by regulatory red tape and government shinanigans. PET still suffers in this regard to a large extent. The later chapters are very instructive in pitfalls, normal varients, and in demonstrating "real" clinical cases, from the basic to the complicated - just as a practitioner sees in a "real life" practice of taking care of sick people. If you are involved at any level with FDG PET imaging, I cannot recommend this book more strongly. You will find many useful pearls, broad understanding, interesting background, and exciting cases that will aid you (and your patients) immeasurably in delivery of state-of-the-art care in the foundation of 21st Century Medicine! Well done, Delbeke and crew!
