Reviews / Votes
"This is the best comprehensive reference regarding the Functional Imaging of Neurosystems including neurological and psychiatric disorders. . I recommend this reference and nuclear medicine review book for radiologists and researchers. Scientists in PET research will also benefit from the A-z approaches." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2015)
"This volume explores in detail the most important aspects of the functioning brain . . The book is therefore ardently suggested to a wide audience represented by all those who work in neurosciences, such as neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, nuclear physicians, neuroradiologists, psychologists and so on; the book could also be interesting for practitioners and basic researchers; finally, representing a strong stimulus to intelligence, it is suggested to all students who want to acquire advanced bases on neuroimaging . ." (Gianluca de Matteis and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 42, 2015)
