increasingly utilized in clinical practice for diagnostic evaluation, initial staging and restaging of malignancies, and plays an important role in optimal patient care. Although F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is still the dominant radioactive tracer in oncology PET imaging services, a handful of new tracers have recently gained the US FDA approval, such as Ga-68 or Cu-64 DOTATATE for carcinoid/neuroendocrine tumors, and F-18 Fluciclovine (AXUMIN) and PSMA for recurrent or metastatic prostate cancers. Clinical interpretation of PET CT oncology scans is often challenging, due to the specific nature of these positron emission radioactive tracers, variable background tracer activities in different organs/tissues with normal variants, complex tumor biology, and wide-ranged treatment responses, especially with emerging and new molecular and immune therapy agents. This book serves as a hands-on casebook on how to interpret oncologic PET CT studies in clinical services with a special emphasis on phenotypic nature of oncologic imaging.

Fundamentals of MRI: An Interactive Learning Approach explores the physical principles that underpin the technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
After covering background mathematics, physics, and digital imaging, the book presents fundamental physical principles, including magnetization and rotating reference frame. It describes how relaxation mechanisms help predict tissue contrast and how an MR signal is localized to a selected slice through the body. The text then focuses on frequency and phase encoding. It also explores the spin-echo sequence, its scan parameters, and additional imaging sequences, such as inversion recovery and gradient echo.
The authors enhance the learning experience with practical materials. Along with questions, exercises, and solutions, they include ten interactive programs on the accompanying downloadable resources. These programs not only allow concepts to be clearly demonstrated and further developed, but also provide an opportunity to engage in the learning process through guided exercises.
By providing a solid, hands-on foundation in the physics of MRI, this textbook helps students gain confidence with core concepts before they move on to further study or practical training.

a way that is familiar to physicians from their training in nuclear medicine services. Each case starts with key clinical information or background, followed by well-displayed PET CT images, along with pertinent questions highlighting the key findings and explanation, as well as the importance in diagnosis and clinical implications on separate pages. Clinical and imaging key findings and final impressions are highlighted throughout along with qualitative and quantitative demonstrations of phenotypic nature of modern PET imaging.
Written by two nuclear medicine PET specialists with decades of first-hand clinical experience, this is an ideal guide for nuclear medicine attending physicians, diagnostic radiologists, medical and surgical oncologists, and relevant trainees
