Edited by a renowned international expert in the field, Nuclear
Medicine Physics offers an up-to-date, state-of-the-art account of
the physics behind the theoretical foundation and applications of
nuclear medicine. It covers important physical aspects of the
methods and instruments involved in modern nuclear medicine, along
with related biological topics.
The book first discusses the physics of and machines for
producing radioisotopes suitable for use in conventional nuclear
medicine and PET. After focusing on positron physics and the
applications of positrons in medicine and biology, it describes the
use of radiopharmaceuticals in molecular imaging, clinical, and
research studies. The text then covers modern radiation detectors
and measuring methods, including those used in nuclear imaging, as
well as numerous imaging methodologies and models, such as two- and
three-dimensional image reconstruction algorithms, data processing
sequences, new nuclear oncology techniques, and physiological
models of the central nervous system. It also introduces biological
systems theory, nuclear medicine methods as systems theory
procedures, and aspects of kinetic modeling. The final chapter
explores dosimetry and the biological effects of ionizing
radiation.
With many new developments occurring in nuclear medicine, it is
important to understand how advanced approaches are being used in
emerging applications. Offering invaluable insight into this
growth, Nuclear Medicine Physics provides in-depth descriptions of
new radiolabeled biological drugs, new cell labeling techniques,
new technical concepts in radiation detection, improvements in
instrumentation, and much more.
