This volume is a review of the use of PET-CT in oncologic practice. It reviews the technique itself, the radio pharmacology, variants in uptake, and interpretation methods. It even covers controversial topics like self-referral and block leasing. Each tumor type is reviewed, with discussion of etiology (if known), risk factors, clinical presentation, staging, prognosis, and treatment. Specific attention is then given to the role (if any) of PET-CT, as well as interpretive tips and pitfalls. This value is image-rich. There are numerous “spinning MIPS” and cine of entire imaging series. Controversies are discussed “head-on”. This book is geared for radiology residents and practicing radiologists. This should allow a grasp of the overall practice of PET-CT in oncology.
