  • 9783030477035
Subject(s): NLM classification:
  • WN 206
Contents:
Introduction to Different PET Radiopharmaceuticals and Hybrid Modalities (PET/CT and PET/MRI) -- A Practical Guideline on Diagnostic and Prognostic Meta-Analyses -- Evidence-Based PET for Brain Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Head and Neck Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Thoracic Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Breast Cancer -- Evidence-Based PET for Abdominal and Pelvic Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Cutaneous, Musculoskeletal and Unknown Primary Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Haematological Tumours -- Evidence-Based PET for Endocrine Tumours and Disorders -- Evidence-Based PET for Cardiac Diseases -- Evidence-Based PET for Infectious and Inflammatory Diseases -- Evidence-Based PET for Neurological Diseases -- Meta-Analyses on Technical Aspects of PET
Summary: This book summarizes the findings of recent evidence-based articles (meta-analyses) on the use of positron emission tomography (PET) for various clinical indications. It is divided into five main sections, starting with an introduction to PET and meta-analysis. In turn, the second part addresses evidence-based PET in oncology, providing a broad overview of its use for different types of tumours. The remaining sections are focused on the use of PET in cardiology, in infectious and inflammatory diseases, and in neurology, respectively.
