The new edition of the excellent introduction to basic concepts and
instrumentation of nuclear medicine, featuring numerous
high-quality illustrations and practical examples Essentials of
Nuclear Medicine Physics, Instrumentation, and Radiation Biology
provides a concise, highly illustrated introduction to fundamental
nuclear medicine-related physics and engineering concepts.
Gradually progressing from basic principles to more advanced
topics, this book offers clear guidance on basic physics related to
nuclear medicine, gamma camera imaging and image reconstruction,
x-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging,
radiopharmaceutic therapy, radiation dosimetry and safety, quality
control, information technology, and more. Throughout the text, a
wealth of examples illustrate the practice of nuclear medicine in
the real world. This new fourth edition features fully revised
content throughout, including brand-new chapters on basic MRI
physics and instrumentation as well as radiopharmaceutical therapy.
There are expanded discussions of current nuclear medicine
technologies including positron emission tomography (PET) and
single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), as well as
up-to-date coverage of SPECT-CT, PET-CT hybrid scanning systems
with an introduction to PET-MRI hybrid systems. Essential reading
for anyone entering the field of nuclear medicine, this book:
Contains introductory chapters on relevant atomic structure,
methods of radionuclide production, and the interaction of
radiation with matter Describes the basic function of the
components of scintillation and non-scintillation detectors Details
image acquisition and processing for planar and SPECT gamma cameras
and PET scanners, and introduces acquisition and processing for CT
and MRI scanners Discusses digital imaging and communications in
medicine (DICOM) and picture archiving and communication systems
(PACs) Includes a new chapter on radiopharmaceutical theranostics
imaging and therapy Includes new coverage of quality control
procedures and updated chapters on radiation safety practices,
radiation biology, and management of radiation accident victims
Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Physics, Instrumentation, and
Radiation Biology is a must-have for all residents, fellows,
trainees, and students in nuclear medicine, and a valuable
quick-reference for radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians
and technologists.
