This book is an ideal text on PET imaging technology that focuses on the basics, such as physics, instrumentation, production of PET radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals, and regulations affecting PET. The chapters are concise but comprehensive, making the topic easily understandable, and they are complete with reviews of pertinent basic science and lists of suggested reading. Practical tables and appendixes contain a wealth of valuable data, reflecting the book's usefulness as a reference for nuclear medicine professionals, including physicians, residents, and technologists. The book also benefits technologists and residents preparing for board examinations because of its brevity and clarity of content.
