{"product_id":"9781441923325","title":"PET: Molecular Imaging and Its Biological Applications","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePET: Molecular Imaging and Its Biological Applications\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePhelps, Michael E.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is written as both a text and a reference book. It contains numerous images from the biological sciences and clinical practice, tables, graphs, and fig­ ures, as well as exercises that are worked out to aid the reader in understanding principles or solving problems. In some cases, derivations are placed in appen­ dices so as not to break up the flow of the subject matter in the text. The book is intended for a broad audience interested in molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET). It is expected that the readers will range from undergraduate, graduate, and medical students to residents, physi­ cians, and scientists with backgrounds from various physical, biological, and medical specialty areas. Each chapter presents material in a straightforward man­ ner that is well illustrated and explained. Because of the diverse audience for the book, certain chapters or sections of chapters will be of more interest than oth­ ers to certain segments of the readership. Chapter 1 introduces the fundamental physics upon which PET imaging sys­ tems is based and discusses in detail the technologies and methods used to pro­ duce PET images. The chapter starts out by reviewing the physics of positron emission and annihilation and explains how positron range and photon non­ colinearity in coincidence detection place certain limits on spatial resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441923325\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-0-387-22529-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 622\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45989949309068,"sku":"9781441923325","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441923325.jpg?v=1772899144","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441923325","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
