Reviews

“Clinical Applications of SPECT-CT stands as a commendable resource for medical practitioners seeking a comprehensive understanding of the integration of SPECT and CT imaging. Its well organised structure facilitates easy navigation through complex concepts, offering a valuable reference for both novice learners and experienced professionals. … the book as a whole remains an invaluable asset in the realm of modern medical imaging literature.” (Haseeb Ahmed, RAD Magazine, November, 2023)
