PET-CT atlas 2nd edition released
The 2nd Edition of the Atlas of Clinical Positron Emission Tomography by Richard Wahl, MD, Emeritus Professor Michael Maisey and Sally Barrington, MD, was released at the recent RSNA meeting in Chicago.

The Atlas includes an interactive DVD with a selection of 30 different clinical PET-CT case studies, including automatic image fusion display and analysis software called HERMES RAPIDTM.  This is the first PET-CT textbook to incorporate a selection of PET-CT clinical case studies, with complete patient datasets, and diagnostic fusion software for clinical interpretation, according to the publisher.

The Atlas has been substantially rewritten to take account of the exciting developments that are occurring with the introduction of PET-CT, and new 'state-of-the-art' PET-CT clinical cases are included in the book and DVD. The new edition continues to be presented as a series of 'mini-lectures'. Also, the addition of the accompanying DVD-Rom with HERMES RAPID Software features PET-CT cases for viewing and analysis, with cross-modality image fusion.
