PET-CT and PET-MRI in Neurology: SWOT Analysis Applied to Hybrid Imaging

Editors: Ciarmiello, Andrea, Mansi, Luigi (Eds.)
​Applies SWOT analysis to identify the strengths and weaknesses of PET-CT and PET-MRI
Explains the advantages of the hybrid techniques over stand-alone modalities
Examines clinical application of the hybrid modalities in diverse neurologic condition

Using SWOT analysis, this book examines in detail the strengths and weaknesses of the hybrid modalities PET-CT and PET-MRI for imaging of the central nervous system, comparing their merits and evaluating their advantages over the stand-alone modalities. The aim is to employ a truly systematic approach in order to define the potential clinical benefit of these modalities and to identify shortcomings, opportunities, and threats. Clinical application of the modalities is explored in a range of conditions, including dementia and related disorders, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, cerebrovascular disease, infection/inflammation, brain tumors, and pediatric neurologic disorders. In addition, the basics of hybrid imaging are addressed, covering physics, instrumentation, data analysis and quantitation, radiopharmaceuticals, and contrast media. PET-CT and PET-MRI in Neurology, written by experts from Europe and the United States, will be essential reading for imaging specialists and of value for neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, and pediatricians.
