This pocket guide provides concise and coherent discussion on the effective use of PET and PET/CT in patient management for a wide range of clinical conditions. Introductory chapters cover the fundamentals of PET imaging, including basic science, patient preparation, and logistical considerations. The main part of the guide examines the role of PET in the management of patients afflicted with malignancies covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), such as lymphoma, melanoma, and colorectal cancer. Additional chapters discuss the use of PET for pancreatic, ovarian, and cervical cancers, sarcoma, and seminoma. Cardiologic and neurologic applications are outlined as well. The final chapter considers the appropriateness, timing, and limitations of PET in common clinical case scenarios encountered in day-to-day practice. Select images supplement the text. The book is for all clinicians involved in diagnosis, initial staging, and re-staging of malignancy who wish to incorporate PET into clinical practice.
