Brain, Heart and Tumor Imaging : Updated PET and MRI - Proceedings of the 2nd International Osaka City University Symposium, Osaka, Japan, 2-4 October

1994 marked the 50th anniversary of the Osaka City University Medical School.

An International Symposium entitled "Brain, Heart and Tumor Imaging - updated PET and MRI" was held on October 2-4, 1994, in Osaka, Japan.

The diagnostic techniques of these fields have made remarkable advances lately, so the purpose of the symposium was to discuss recent progress in diagnosis of brain, heart and tumors with PET and MR imaging.

The themes chosen are modalities (PET, SPECT and MRI) and organs or disease such as brain (physiology, dementia, epilepsy, psychiatric disease and receptor), heart (heart failure and ischemic disease) and tumor (breast cancer, pulmonary tumor, heart and neck tumor and abdominal tumor).

This book will provide both nonexpert and expert readers with the future direction of PET and MR imaging.
