Physics of PET and SPECT Imaging, 1st Edition, edited by Magnus Dahlbom, introduces the foundational physics and engineering advances shaping emission tomography. The volume details how developments across positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography expand diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in medicine.
Coverage outlines the core physics of both modalities alongside key hardware systems. The text examines scintillator materials, photodetector technology, signal acquisition electronics, and dedicated system designs.
The work also explores data computing and practical implementation. Readers encounter quantitative techniques, image reconstruction algorithms, and dynamic imaging methods, extending to preclinical investigations and multimodality clinical applications such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT.
