Description
The contents of this volume address the methodological issues related to the tracer kinetics and image analysis in brain PET. Contributions from distinguished scientists, as well as leading experts involved in PET data world-wide, help to clarify many of the difficult methodological points, and allows us to review and predict the past, present and future of each PET theme. This book will provide non-expert readers with the full methodological scope of brain PET and expert readers with the future direction of PET.
