ABSTRACT
This chapter and the attached DVD describe four different imaging techniques: computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission CT (SPECT). Depending on the imaging methods and application, the data acquired can be interpreted to yield information not only about anatomy and structures, but also of many physiological processes such as glucose metabolism, oxygen utilization, blood volume, and receptor binding.
