Title: Atlas of positron emission tomography of the brain

Abstract

The aim and scope of this atlas are expressed in its title. The text and legends of the book are presented in both German and English. The book contains 12 high-quality color illustrations culled from nine tomography centers across Europe and North America. Almost two-thirds of the book is devoted to the measurement of regional cerebral glucose metabolism and cerebral blood flow. The remainder manages to cover all of the other cerebral applications of positron emission tomography (PET). The authors discuss that PET is being used principally in research and that its future, although theoretically unlimited, depends on the development of ''further labeled compounds.''
