This issue of PET Clinics examines normal variations and benign findings in FDG PET/CT Imaging. Topics include Standardization and quantification in FDG PET /CT imaging for staging and restaging of disease, dynamic changes in FDG update in normal tissues, as well as normal variations in the brain, head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and in pediatrics.

Nuclear Medicine has greatly contributed to the diagnosis and treament of neuroendocrine neoplasms. This issue of PET Clinics will focus not only on the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors, but also theranostics. Topics include SPECT and other PET tracers, F-DOPA, Ga-DOTA-peptides, Yttrium- and Lutetium-based therapy, and the role of FDG PET. It also covers key information of theranostics.
