The Practice of Internal Dosimetry in Nuclear Medicine (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Written by one of the world's leading experts, this text describes in detail the use of internal dose calculations in nuclear medicine. While radiation therapy with external sources of radiation always employs calculations of dose, this is not routinely done in nuclear medicine therapy. This book discusses how to do dose calculations for diagnostic nuclear medicine drugs which is needed during drug approval. It also touches on how to perform more and better dose calculations in the future.
