'provides precisely the information one needs to know '

'covers both established and emerging indications for clinical applications and follows a practical and disease-based structure'

' 375 figures with more than 1,600 superb illustrations document the use of integrated imaging and provide an excellent visual reference for interpreting studies. The 48 tables and updated references are also useful.'

' ideal for users of clinical hybrid imaging because it fully integrates all applications, allows easy comparison of various modalities, and helps one decide whether to use PET/CT, PET/MRI, or SPECT/CT to solve a clinical problem'
