A MUST HAVE PET/CT BOOK:
This book gets straight to the point. Every word and every line is important. Unlike some other books where you have to read numerous pages to distill a few take home points, this book puts the pearls at your fingertips. I highly recommend this book to attendings and residents in radiology and nuclear medicine who are interested in PET/CT.
Great for radiologists:
This is an excellent book if you are a practicing radiologist and like books that just get to the point. This book summarizes the scientific literature on PET and PET/CT concisely, has a lot of tips on interpretation, a lot of CT correlation for rads, and is overall very practical. I bought an advance copy at RSNA and like this the best of the PET books I have.
