An excellent introduction to the basic concepts of nuclear
medicine physics
This "Third Edition" of" Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Physics
and Instrumentation" expands the finely developed illustrated
review and introductory guide to nuclear medicine physics and
instrumentation. Along with simple, progressive, highly illustrated
topics, the authors present nuclear medicine-related physics and
engineering concepts clearly and concisely. Included in the text
are introductory chapters on relevant atomic structure, methods of
radionuclide production, and the interaction of radiation with
matter. Further, the text discusses the basic function of the
components of scintillation and non-scintillation detector systems.
An information technology section discusses PACs and DICOM. There
is extensive coverage of quality control procedures, followed by
updated chapters on radiation safety practices, radiation biology,
and management of radiation accident victims.
Clear and concise, this new edition of "Essentials of Nuclear
Medicine Physics and Instrumentation" offers readers: Four new
chaptersUpdated coverage of CT and hybrid scanning systems: PET/CT
and SPECT/CTFresh discussions of the latest technology based on
solid state detectors and new scanner designs optimized for
dedicated cardiac imagingNew coverage of PACs and DICOM
systemsExpanded coverage of image reconstruction and processing
techniquesNew material on methods of image display
Logically structured and clearly written, this is the book of
choice for anyone entering the field of nuclear medicine, including
nuclear medicine residents and fellows, cardiac nuclear medicine
fellows, and nuclear medicine technology students. It is also a
handy quick-reference guide for those already working in the field
of nuclear physics.
