"Handbook Of Nuclear Medicine And Molecular Imaging For Physicists - Three Volume Set | Physics

This state-of-the-art set of handbooks provides medical physicists with a comprehensive overview of the field of nuclear medicine. In addition to describing the underlying fundamental theories of the field it includes the latest research and explores the practical procedures equipment and regulations that are shaping the field and it's future. This set is split into three volumes respectively titled: Instrumentation and Imaging Procedures; Modelling Dosimetry and Radiation Protection; and Radiopharmaceuticals and Clinical Applications. Volume one Instrumentation and Imaging Procedures focuses primarily on providing a comprehensive review into the detection of radiation beginning with an introduction to the history of nuclear medicine to the latest imaging technology. Volume two Modelling Dosimetry and Radiation Protection explores the applications of mathematical modelling dosimetry and radiation protection in nuclear medicine. The third and final volume Radiopharmaceuticals and Clinical Applications highlights the production and application of radiopharmaceuticals and their role in clinical nuclear medicine practice. These books will be an invaluable resource for libraries institutions and clinical and academic medical physicists searching for a complete account of what defines nuclear medicine.
