This open access book summarizes the findings of recent evidence-based articles (meta-analyses)
on the use of positron emission tomography (PET) for various clinical indications. It is
divided into five main sections starting with an introduction to PET and meta-analysis. In
turn the second part addresses evidence-based PET in oncology providing a broad overview of
its use for different types of tumours. The remaining sections are focused on the use of PET in
cardiology in infectious and inflammatory diseases and in neurology respectively. Given its
scope and the wealth of information it provides the book will be an invaluable tool for
clinicians with various specialties as well as international scientific societies interested
to the recent evidence-based data about PET.
