Abstract

Abstract Nuclear medicine makes a unique contribution to medical diagnosis by its ability to demonstrate physiological function. Reflecting the diversity of skills applied in the practice of nuclear medicine, Nuclear Medicine is invaluable to the radiologist, physician and physicist starting to work in nuclear medicine. Written by the experts in the field, this wide-ranging practical manual also contains the latest material and advice for the consultant in nuclear medicine. In this second edition, Nuclear Medicine covers both the non-medical aspects of nuclear medicine such as quality control testing of equipment, radiation protection, the design and amangement of a radiopharmacy, and tomographic imaging; and also clinical investigation, discussing the latest techniques in nuclear medicine. There is an emphasis throughout on the practice of nuclear medicine, and real-life practical problems encountered in nuclear medicine both in clinical practice and in the introduction of new techniques are addressed. For example, the book covers the interpretation of commonly-performed clinical tests, includes instructions on quality assurance, and also advises on the design and management of a radiopharmacy. NEW CHAPTERS IN THIS EDITION: In vitro studies, covering the non-imaging techniques in nuclear medicine and Positron emission tomography reflecting the growing interest in this area.
