About this book

This book serves as a reference and comprehensive guide for PET/MR neuroimaging. The field of PET/MR is rapidly evolving, however, there is no standard resource summarizing the vast information and its potential applications. This book will guide neurological molecular imaging applications in both clinical practice and the research setting. 

Experts from multiple disciplines, including radiologists, researchers, and physicists, have collaborated to bring their knowledge and expertise together. Sections begin by covering general considerations, including public health and economic implications, the physics of PET/MR systems, an overview of hot lab and cyclotron, and radiotracers used in neurologic PET/MRI. There is then coverage of each major disease/systemic category, including dementia and neurodegenerative disease, epilepsy localization, brain tumors, inflammatory and infectious CNS disorders, head and neck imaging, as well as vascular hybrid imaging. Together, we have created a thorough, concise and up-to-date textbook in a unique, user-friendly format. This is an ideal guide for neuroradiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, medical physicists, clinical trainees and researchers.  

Reviews

“This resource presents a helpful introduction to PETMR and is of interest to both the trainee and general radiologist. The enthusiasm of the authors for this novel imaging technique is clearly evident throughout the book and could serve as inspiration to the aspiring trainee to follow a dual-speciality training pathway in both nuclear medicine and neuroradiology.” (Ruth Whitehead and Mark Igra, RAD Magazine, April, 2023)
