Il ruolo che la diagnostica per immagini riveste nella pratica clinica quotidiana è di giorno in giorno sempre più rilevante: il moderno radiologo deve possedere un’approfondita conoscenza della clinica e dell’anatomia patologica e la capacità di correlazione con i reperti radiologici, al fine di poter cogliere anche i minimi segni e reperti rilevabili.
Inoltre, la vastità delle attuali conoscenze richiede non solo una preparazione radiologica generica, ma anche e sempre più approfondiment

Recenti progressi tecnologici hanno favorito la diffusione della PET-TC, una metodica di indagine che permette di evidenziare gli aspetti morfologici e funzionali delle neoplasie e che è spesso risolutiva nel percorso diagnostico e terapeutico del paziente.

L’edizione originale inglese del volume è stata ampliata con due capitoli - sui traccianti PET di uso emergente e sulla dosimetria - e un utile glossario, al fine di presentare in modo conciso e esaustivo i diversi aspetti della
