Core PET Texts and Learning Goals

Lists foundational PET textbooks covering radiopharmaceutical kinetics, PET physics, PET/CT and PET/MR imaging, and clinical applications in oncology, cardiology, and neurology; identifies chapters students should prioritize for acquisition technique, quantification, and interpretation.

Study Techniques for PET Topics

Concrete reading strategies: summarize tracer kinetics in one page, create flashcards for common radiotracers and indications, annotate example reports with administered activity and uptake times, and extract reconstruction and quantification parameters.

Integrating Textbooks with Clinical Practice

Exercises pairing textbook cases with supervised PET/CT or PET/MR sessions and radiopharmacy observation; includes a sample exercise guiding an FDG PET/CT from patient preparation through uptake, acquisition, reconstruction, and reporting.
