Preface
With the latest development of electronics and computer sciences, medical imaging has become a multidisciplinary clinical science characterized by the use of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, and ultrasound imaging. This book aims to provide professional suggestions on clinical study and practice, by using images from multiple clinical case studies, informing this ever-evolving specialty. This book mainly focuses on nuclear medicine and therapy, molecular imaging, and imaging-based therapy evaluation. It contains 20 chapters covering a variety of topics on medical physics and instruments, nuclear medicine, and its application in multiple diseases both in the areas of diagnosis and therapy. In the early part of the book, a brief introduction of the 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) technique and its application in clinical cancer studies are given, which include breast cancers, non-small-cell lung cancer
