This edition reflects the curriculum covered by nuclear medicine technology training programmes. Its clinical information should make it a valuable resource for practitioners as well. The book's first section provides a foundation in maths, statistics, and physics, then presents current information on instrumentation, computer and laboratory sciences, radiochemistry and radiopharmacology. After general discussions of radiation safety and patient care, each body system is covered in a separate chapter. The body-system chapters first present relevant anatomy and physiology, then detail the performance and interpretation of various procedures for diagnosing problems related to the body system being discussed. New to this third edition are completely revised maths, physics, instrumentation and computer chapters, and expanded coverage of SPECT and PET.
