This mechanism is also appropriate for measuring physiological activities such as regional chemical composition and absorption. PET is a valuable research and medical tool used in pre-clinical and clinical settings, majorly used in the imaging of tumors. Based on the target process within the body, different tracers are used for various imaging processes. For instance, NaF is widely used for detecting bone formation, and oxygen-15 is sometimes used to measure blood flow and F-FDG is commonly used to detect cancer. PET has the potential to detect biochemical processes and some protein expressions as it provides molecular level information before any anatomic changes are visible. The major disadvantage of a PET scanner is its high purchase cost and the recurring operating expenses. This book contains some path-breaking studies related to positron emission tomography. It strives to provide a fair idea about this imaging technique and to help develop a better understanding of its clinical applications. The book is appropriate for students as well as experts seeking detailed information regarding positron emission tomography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8887403864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798887403861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Medical Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.63d","brand":"John Park","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44311116841215,"sku":"9798887403861","price":156.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8b0370a-cc6e-4ff0-8b81-89e88cd3d2a3.jpg?v=1695721153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/positron-emission-tomography-john-park-9798887403861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
