Great book!

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!
