Basics of PET Imaging : Physics, Chemistry, and Regulations / by Gopal B. Saha, PhD. - 3rd ed. 2016. - 1 online resource (XV, 282 pages)
Radioactive Decay and Interaction of Radiation with Matter -- PET Scanning Systems -- Data Acquisition and Corrections -- Image Reconstruction -- Storage, Display and PACS -- Performance Characteristics of PET Scanners -- Cyclotron and Production of PET Radionuclides -- Synthesis of PET Radiopharmaceuticals -- FDA Regulations for PET Radiopharmaceuticals -- NRC Regulations for Radiation Protection in PET -- Reimbursement for PET Procedures -- Design and Cost of PET Center -- Sample Procedures for PET Studies -- Topics of Interest.
This classic text presents the basic concepts of positron emission tomography (PET). Topics include basic physics of PET imaging; scanning systems; data acquisition; storage and display; PET radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals; regulatory policies for PET radiopharmaceuticals; reimbursement for PET procedures; and performance of PET studies. The Third Edition is thoroughly updated and includes information on magnetic resonance scanners; PET/MR imaging; new positron emitting radionuclides with potential for human use; new PET radiopharmaceuticals; FDA and NRC regulations for PET radiopharmaceuticals; and special topics of interest, such as SUV calculation in 18F-FDG tumor imaging. The book also includes equations, sample problems, and practice questions. Basics of PET Imaging, Third Edition, is an ideal resource for nuclear medicine physicians, residents, and technologists. .
