Rezensionen

From the reviews of the fourth edition: "This introductory book on the physics of nuclear medicine also includes a brief description of radiobiology and radiation protection and regulations pertinent to nuclear medicine. ... It is written for residents in nuclear medicine and radiology, and for nuclear medicine technology students. Fellows in nuclear radiology would also benefit from this book. ... This update is appropriate due to the advances in the field." (Bennett S. Greenspan, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013)
