Preface
Stipulation of the third edition of the book, Basics of PET Imaging, has been prompted by many new developments in PET technology, equipment, and products since its second edition published in 2010. In this edition, new materials have been added, obsolete topics deleted, and pertinent contents updated. The purpose of the book remains the same as was for the previous editions—to fulfill the need for radiology and nuclear medicine professionals in their board examinations and practice. The content of the book has been organized concisely in 14 chapters. Chapters 1 and 12 have no major change. In Chapter 2, information on detectors has been updated, and a new section on MR scanners and the principle of their operation has been added. Updated tables for specifications of PET, PET/CT, PET/MR, and animal scanners from different manufacturers have been incorporated. Chapter 3 contains a new section on PET/MR imaging. Iterative reconstruction method has been elaborated in Chapter 4. A table of PACS from different vendors has been added in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 contains a section on quality control of MR scanners. New positron emitting radionuclides with potential for human us
