Drs. Simon R. Cherry, James A. Sorenson, and Michael E. Phelps - provides current,
comprehensive guidance on the physics underlying modern nuclear medicine and imaging
using radioactively labeled tracers. This revised and updated fourth edition features
a new full-color layout, as well as the latest information on instrumentation and
technology. Stay current on crucial developments in hybrid imaging (PET/CT and SPECT/CT),
and small animal imaging, and benefit from the new section on tracer kinetic modeling
in neuroreceptor imaging. What's more, you can reinforce your understanding with graphical
animations, along with the fully searchable text and calculation tools. Tap into the
expertise of Dr. Simon Cherry, who contributes his cutting-edge knowledge in nuclear
medicine instrumentation. Stay current on the latest developments in nuclear medicine
technology and methods. New sections to learn about hybrid imaging (PET/CT and SPECT/CT)
and small animal imaging. Get a better view of images and line art and find information
more easily thanks to a brand-new, full-color layout. The perfect reference or textbook
to comprehensively review physics principles in nuclear medicine
