Computed-Tomography Books

The correct title of this book is: Computed Tomography of CNS Disease: A Teaching File. by Douglas H. Yock, Jr.

I am teaching an Introduction to Medical Imaging Course at the 3rd to 4th year undergraduate level but also including some graduate students at an engineering school. I was looking for an up-to-date review of x-ray computed tomography. This book is it. It surveys the entire topic from historical events to the latest in multi-slice systems. One of the nicest features of the book is the included CD-ROM. It includes all figures used in the book, addition videos of recontruction examples, a case study folder, a multi-slice image (demo) viewer, as well as a demo version of program that calculates patient dose for CT proceedures. These additional tools have made my teaching preparation much easier. I highly recommend this book as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students, medical physicists, and medical students as well as those in the field that need an up-to-date review.

The book ordered was in stock and arrived promptly and in good condition.

Nice little book, most of the content is very basic to common CT diagnoses. The best part of this book is the introductory chapters to eash modality, esp MRI physics. Recommend for medical students.

Really comprehensive coverage of technique and interpretation of HR-CT of the lung. Almost any disease, even the rare ones are covered. A must-have for radiologists working in this field.

This book was incredibly helpful in studying for my PET board exam! Very well written, organized, and thought out, this book is a must for anyone wanting an understanding of PET in not only the clinical aspect but the physics and instrumentation side of things. Very useful diagrams are provided as well! Highly recommended!

Textbooks are usually out of date by the time they are in print. Not so with Delbeke et al's new Practical FDG Imaging! This book is not only timely but excellent, written by outstanding clinical physicians and physicists who are also world-reknown educators. It is a very practical, "real world" book that is released at a critical time of explosive growth in FDG PET imaging. It stands alone in filling a badly needed niche in the education of imagers using this new technology.

The early chapters on the history of PET and the physics of PET are very helpful in understanding the basic science and political milieu involved in the subject. It is sad that this technology, with so much to offer suffering patients, has been held back by regulatory red tape and government shinanigans. PET still suffers in this regard to a large extent.

The later chapters are very instructive in pitfalls, normal varients, and in demonstrating "real" clinical cases, from the basic to the complicated - just as a practitioner sees in a "real life" practice of taking care of sick people.

If you are involved at any level with FDG PET imaging, I cannot recommend this book more strongly. You will find many useful pearls, broad understanding, interesting background, and exciting cases that will aid you (and your patients) immeasurably in delivery of state-of-the-art care in the foundation of 21st Century Medicine!

Well done, Delbeke and crew!

This book is an excellent and state of the art review of the entire field of PET/CT Imaging. There are spectacular color fused images throughout the book rather than in an image appendix. All aspects of PET/CT are covered in a detailed but not exhaustive manner. New chapters including amyloid, infection and renal images are very timely. Anyone reading PET scans should have this book available as they read out. The chapter on image artifacts and pitfalls is superb. I only wish the book would have come out a couple of years ago, but it was worth the wait.

Es un libro muy útil tanto para médicos como para Tecnólogos Médicos, los avances que ha experimentado la tecnología multidetector son impresionantes y esta publicación resulta de gran ayuda para los que estamos interezados en el tema o trabajamos diaramente en estos equipos.
Absolutamente recomendable

Es un libro ideal para tener a la par durante el reporte de los estudios pues brinda de una forma practica, sencilla y rapida los datos que necesitamos conocer o consultar para cualquier patologia. Es excelente. Se los recomiendo.
