Mathematical modelling is an important part of nuclear medicine.
Therefore, several chapters of this book have been dedicated
towards describing this topic. In these chapters, an emphasis has
been put on describing the mathematical modelling of the radiation
transport of photons and electrons, as well as on the
transportation of radiopharmaceuticals between different organs and
compartments. It also includes computer models of patient
dosimetry. Two chapters of this book are devoted towards
introducing the concept of biostatistics and radiobiology. These
chapters are followed by chapters detailing dosimetry procedures
commonly used in the context of diagnostic imaging, as well as
patient-specific dosimetry for radiotherapy treatments. For safety
reasons, many of the methods used in nuclear medicine and molecular
imaging are tightly regulated. Therefore, this volume also
highlights the basic principles for radiation protection. It
discusses the process of how guidelines and regulations aimed at
minimizing radiation exposure are determined and implemented by
international organisations. Finally, this book describes how
different dosimetry methods may be utilized depending on the
intended target, including whole-body or organ-specific imaging, as
well as small-scale to cellular dosimetry. This text will be an
invaluable resource for libraries, institutions, and clinical and
academic medical physicists searching for a complete account of
what defines nuclear medicine. The most comprehensive reference
available providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field of
nuclear medicine Edited by a leader in the field, with
contributions from a team of experienced medical physicists,
chemists, engineers, scientists, and clinical medical personnel
Includes the latest practical research in the field, in addition to
explaining fundamental theory and the field's history
