Reviews

Essential reading for all those who are interested to the role of nuclear medicine in neurology, and more generally in neuroimaging. ... this voluminous and up to date publication can be regarded as an encyclopaedia that could have a prominent position in the libraries of all departments involved in neurosciences generally, not only in neuroimaging. ... Clearly residents and professionals in nuclear medicine, as well as those involved in neuroimaging, will find this book of interest. (Christian Marsiglia and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 43, 2016)
