Autorenporträt

Lala Umutlu PD Dr. med. graduated from Heinrich-Heine Universität in Düsseldorf, Germany in 2006. She was trained in radiology at the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology at the University Hospital Essen. After receiving her habilitation (Venia legendi) on ultra-highfield whole-body MR imaging in 2013, her focus of scientific research interest expanded by hybrid molecular imaging, with a main focus on PET/MRI in oncology and malignancies of the female pelvis in particular. Dr. Umutlu serves as the Vice Chair of the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology of the University Hospital Essen as well as the Head of the Clinical PET/MRI and the Ultrahighfield research unit. As a member of various societies including the European Society of Radiology and a faculty member of the European Society for Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine and Biology, she is also involved in training programs on PET/MRI and female oncologic MR imaging. Herrmann, Ken Prof. Dr. graduated from Charité Universitätsmedizin in Berlin, Germany in 2004 including stays at the Universite de Lausanne, Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia, and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.  Dr. Herrmann was trained in nuclear medicine at Technische Universität München under the guidance of Professor Markus Schwaiger.  Dr. Herrmann received an executive MBA of the University of Zürich.  Since 2011, he has been a faculty member of the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).  In addition,  Dr. Herrmann served from 2012 to 2016 as Vice Chair of Nuclear Medicine at Universitätsklinikum Würzburg. In 2016 he was appointed Chair of Nuclear Medicine at Universitätsklinikum Essen, Germany. Dr. Herrmann's research focuses on hybrid molecular imaging including PET/CT and PET/MRI and its clinical applications, on radionuclide theranostics, and on PET-based response assessment to oncologic therapies.

Rezensionen

"This book on PET/MR imaging is based on the wide and deep personal experience of some of the major international experts in the field. ... A major value of this book is that it highlights competence in both nuclear medicine and radiology. ... Finally, the book may be of interest to clinicians, including oncologists, neuropsychiatrists, cardiologists, internists and paediatricians, to better understand when PET/MRI may be useful in clinical practice." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 45, 2018)
