Atlas of PET-MR Imaging in Oncology

Numerous illustrated clinical cases in different oncology domains
Includes digital interactive software matching the cases in the book
Interactive version based on the latest web standard, HTML5, ensuring the widest compatibility
Edited by three international opinion leaders/imaging experts in the field​
This new project on PET/MR imaging in oncology includes digital interactive software matching the cases in the book. The interactive version of the atlas is based on the latest web standard, HTML5, ensuring compatibility with any computer operating system as well as with iPad, iPhone, and Android-based tablets.

The book opens with an introduction to the principles of hybrid imaging that pays particular attention to PET/MR imaging and standard PET/MR acquisition protocols. A wide range of illustrated clinical case reports are then presented. Each case study includes a short clinical history, findings, and teaching points, followed by illustrations, legends, and comments.

The multimedia version of the book includes three types of movie that provide rotating 3D images (MIP or volume rendered), display blending between PET and MR, and allow interactive browsing of 3D image volumes. The movies essentially comprise sequences of images that can be played either continuously or sequentially.

The editors of this state-of-the-art publication are key opinion leaders in the field of multimodality imaging. Professor Osman Ratib (Geneva) and Professor Markus Schwaiger (Munich) were the first in Europe to initiate the clinical adoption of PET/MR imaging. Professor Thomas Beyer (Zurich) is an internationally renowned pioneering physicist in the field of hybrid imaging. Individual chapters are co-authored by leading international imaging experts in the use of PET and MRI.
