Nuclear Medicine Physics
Nuclear Medicine Physics is a fascinating field that combines the principles of physics and biology to diagnose and treat various medical conditions. The book of the same name, written by Arman Rahmim and Ramesh Chandra, is a comprehensive guide to understanding the physics behind nuclear medicine and its applications in clinical practice.
Nuclear Medicine Physics begins with an introduction to the basic principles of nuclear medicine, including the interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection, and imaging systems. The book then delves into the physics of various imaging modalities, including planar imaging, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography (PET). The author also covers the dosimetry of radiopharmaceuticals and the safety aspects of nuclear medicine procedures.
The book is aimed at students, residents, and practicing professionals in the fields of nuclear medicine, radiology, and medical physics. It is a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the physics behind nuclear medicine imaging and therapy. With clear explanations and numerous illustrations, Nuclear Medicine Physics is an essential addition to any medical physicist's library.
