Reviews

The interest of this agile publication is in supporting PET/CT as a guide to a better practice in biopsy. ... this approach may be particularly useful in cases with complex lesions including necrosis and/or fibrosis, or in patients with multiple lesions, when a relapse is suspicious. In this sense, we suggest this book not only to nuclear physicians and radiologists involved in biopsy, but also to surgeons and oncologists interested in better understanding the possibilities of this new strategy.
