"The PET scan is revolutionizing the means by which the biology of disease can be studied in living mice to patients and in providing molecular diagnostics in patients. The focus of this guide is teaching. Topics covered include PET physics, assay development, electronic generators, and molecular imaging probes. PET: Molecular Imaging and Its Biological Applications is intended for radiologists, nuclear medicine, specialty areas of medicine and surgery, residents, biological and physical scientists, and their students interested in molecular imaging."--BOOK JACKET.
