Physics in Nuclear Medicine

I'm PhD student doing SPECT research. This book is THE best I ever used so far. It is crystal clear about every concept it introduces . The writing is simply an art -- holding back on deep nuclear physics that I don't need, and meantime giving enough information for reader to have a complete picture and understanding. I'll say if you are a medical physics student or a graduate student who is doing nuclear medicine research, this book is THE perfect choice.P.S. I also have the second edition of this book, which was also very well written. However, due to the development of nuclear medicine in recent 20 years, the fourth edition indeed adds on a lot of invaluable information.

This is a great addition to any library dealing with nuke med.... If one really wants to get a grasp on what makes things tick... it is a great book. I have found this to be a great refresher for my experience in nuclear engineering and nuclear medicine. For those in residency in Nuclear Medicine, buy it and learn from it.

This is a quality text. Good examples and good depth in the areas addressed. The illustrations are of good quality too. The writing is clear and the formulas are appropriate for the topic.

Bought for school saved some $$

I'm majoring in Nuclear Medicine and I wanted a book that wasn't water-down to the layman or made for someone who is in a masters program. This is a great book to get this information you need and that in applicable to the field. it is also good in that it's up-to-date, which is important in this ever-evolving field. Books published ten years ago are sorely out of date.

This is one of the greatest introductory physics books available for nuclear medicine. The concepts are explained very clearly with color illustrations. i highly recommend it as a first introductory physics text for those new to the field of nuclear medicine.

It's a nice text to cover the general of the nuclear medicine. There is no fancy math derivation or super long formula. Just the basic concept. All in all, a good beginner. Book is well made and colorful.

Very useful book. I had the second edition (1987) and now i bought the fourth edition. it has everything a medical physicist needs to review.

Für Personen in der Nuklearmedizin mehr oder weniger eine Pflichtlektüre und gut um einen ausführlichen Überblick über das Gebiet zu bekommen. Mit dem inkludierten Code im Buch kann auch auf Online Ressourcen zugegriffen und genutzt werden

I bought the book version and together with the animations in the online version this is a very handy reference book.

Medical physicist should have this book.
