Fundamentals of Nuclear Pharmacy

by Gopal B. Saha

This is the classic text/reference of nuclear pharmacy, thoroughly updated and judiciously expanded. Generously supplemented with charts, tables, and more than 100 illustrations throughout, each chapter provides the reader with well-delineated descriptions, from the basic autonomic structure through the clinical uses of radiopharmaceuticals.

Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Imaging

by Fred A. Mettler, Milton J. Guiberteau

Through four editions, this resource has established itself as the best introduction to nuclear imaging techniques. It is practical, yet comprehensive, covering physics, instrumentation, quality control, and legal requirements. The 5th Edition features a new color format, with many user-friendly features such as “Pearls and Pitfalls.” More than 600 pictures in digital-quality resolution depict imaging of each body system. A series of Unknown Case Sets, with answers, help test your knowledge.

Physics in Nuclear Medicine

by Simon R. Cherry, James Sorenson, Michael Phelps

This new edition of 'Physics in Nuclear Medicine' is organized well and written clearly. It accomplishes the authors' goal of providing a single volume that serves as both a textbook for radiology residents, scientists, and technologists, and a reference for physicians and scientists in related fields. Overall, the authors have done an excellent job of elucidating the expanding and complex role of physics principles in nuclear medicine.

Experts in their fields provide up-to-date, comprehensive information on the physics underlying modern nuclear medicine and imaging using radioactively labeled tracers. They examine every aspect of the field--from basic atomic physics through radioactivity, isotope production, interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection, and imaging systems. Examples are presented with solutions worked out in step-by-step detail, illustrating important concepts and calculations.
