Positron emission tomography (PET) has been at the forefront of fu- tional and molecular imaging for a number of years. The future of di- nostic imaging depends upon the ability to change from imaging anatomy to examining the processes at work in the body. The fact that there are now monographs examining particular aspects of PET, such as this book on the examination of children, speaks to the newly won maturity of PET. The authors are to be congratulated for the timely appearance of this volume. In recent years, PET has transformed the contributions of nuclear medicine to the diagnosis, staging, and follow-up of patients with cancer. Children with cancer deserve the very best and most comp- sionate care that society can provide. Ultimately the greatest comp- sion we can offer as physicians is to provide the best possible care. Those charged with creating public policy in the context of diagnostic medicine must make common cause with physicians and other sci- tists to ensure thatthat best possible care is realized at the bedside. All of the evidence suggests that PET is central to such optimal cancer care. In addition to the distinguished cast of physicians and researchers who contributed to this book, I welcome the contributions from te- nologists who are a key part of the interaction between the diagnostic process and the sick or potentially sick child. Good care is contingent upon putting parents and child at ease, and the technologist has a lead role in this.

Rezension zu „Pediatric PET Imaging “
From the reviews:Detailed descriptions of many high-quality images are well integrated into the main text, adding value to the book as educational resource. ... The practical approach to the complexities of paediatric PET imaging makes this book a valuable reference for full-time paediatric nuclear physicians and radiologists. ... The combined efforts of the editor and authors have produced a much-needed book that will be equally useful to experienced professionals and residents approaching the field of paediatric oncology." (Pietro Zucchetta and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging, Vol. 34, 2007)
