Description
Summary:This book presents the latest scientific developments in the field of positron emission tomography (PET) dealing with data acquisition, image processing, applications, statistical analysis, tracer development, parameter estimation, and kinetic modeling. It covers improved methodology and the application of existing techniques to new areas. The text also describes new approaches in scanner design and image processing, and the latest techniques for modeling and statistical analyses. This volume will be a useful reference for the active brain PET scientist, as well as a valuable introduction for students and researchers who wish to take advantage of the capabilities of PET to study the normal and diseased brain. Key Features * Authored by international authorities in PET * Provides the latest up-to-date techniques and applications * Covers all fundamental disciplines of PET in one volume * A comprehensive resource for students, clinicians, and new PET researchers.
