Reviews

From the book reviews: The book is well written and highly didactic, therefore having a very high appeal for residents and practitioners, first of all for those involved in pediatrics. In my opinion, this volume has to be present in all nuclear medicine labs and is also useful for nuclear physicians, radiologists, oncologists, clinicians, surgeons, and all people who want to be updated on the state of the art and on clinical indications for PET/CT in infants and young patients.
