TO THE EDITOR:
We read and re-read your outstanding supplement titled “A Tabulated Summary of the FDG PET Literature” (1). It helps take the world literature and put it in perspective. This has already helped us discuss the pros and cons of PET imaging in pancreatic carcinoma with a gastroenterologist.
Today we were trying to evaluate the literature on nuclear imaging on Parkinson’s and related diseases and how we can help differentiate them for neurologists. We have a difficult time evaluating the literature from all over the world with multiple non–FDA-approved agents. We would appreciate additional Journal of Nuclear Medicine supplements to deal with other aspects of PET, and for that matter, other classical areas of nuclear medicine. It is very helpful to have the experts review the literature and put it all in one place. Is there a way to purchase additional supplements for distribution to some of our high-volume referring physicians? If there is not a method in place, please consider establishing it.
Keep up the good work—and hopefully more of it!
