Some important techniques of radiology are positron emission tomography (PET) scan, nuclear medicine tests such as thallium cardiac stress test, thyroid scan and bone scan, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and computed tomography (CT) scan. This book provides significant information with respect to radiology for developing a good understanding of the subject. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe.
