PET and PET-CT in Oncology describes the principles of positron emission tomography and is a useful resource for incorporating the technique in clinical practice. In a clear and straightforward fashion, this heavily-illustrated text offers instructive information and overviews of the basic principles of PET and PET-CT as well as the routine clinical PET scanning procedures for all important oncological indications. It is designed to serve as a reference work for specialists in nuclear medicine and radiology (including therapy planning) and for oncologists. It also provides student and physicians in other medical specialities with a general introduction to the effective integration of this modern technique into routine clinical diagnostics. Above all, this volume illustrates the importance of PET and PET-CT in comparison with other imaging techniques. [less ▲]

Radiopharmaceuticals are used to detect and characterise disease processes, or normal biological function, in living cells, animals or humans. Used as tracer molecules, they map the distribution, uptake and metabolism of the molecule in clinical studies, basic research or applied research. The area of radiopharmaceuticals is expanding rapidly. The number of PET centers in the world is increasing at 20% per year, and many drug companies are utilising PET and other forms of radiopharmaceutical imaging to evaluate products. * Readers will find coverage on a number of important topics such as radionuclide production, PET and drug development, and regulations * Explains how to use radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis and therapy of cancer and other diseases [less ▲]

Quasi 2D-numerical model of aerated flow over stepped chutes

Aerated flow over stepped chutes is principally studied on laboratory models. Consequently, the obtained design relations have a limited field of application. In order to propose a more general description of the flow, a quasi-2D numerical model is developed. The fluid is considered as an air-water mixture governed by the shallow-water equations. Moreover, a transport equation for air concentration represents the self-aeration of the flow and a coefficient of uneven vertical velocity distribution integrates indirectly the turbulent structures. The paper includes a brief description of the flow behaviour, the quasi-2D model equations, and a comparison of the numerical results with the measured flow characteristics in a 30° stepped flume.

Conditions for elasto-plastic strain localization in unsaturated soils

The necessary and sufficient conditions for elasto-plastic strain localization initiation in unsaturated soli massifs are proposed. Unsaturated behaviour is described unsing net stress and suction as independent stress variables and modifying the basic constitutive surface parameters and hardening rules to consider the role of suction. The process is accepted to be static isothermal. The conception that the localization band initiates due to loss of stability of deformation process is used. In that case, the rates of process measures bifurcate. A special example is given to illustrate the application of the obtained conditions. [less ▲]
