Practical Nuclear Medicine

by Francis William Smith and H.G. Gemmell

Book Overview

Written by leading experts in the field, this practical new guide takes a "nuts and bolts" approach to running a nuclear medicine service. The first half of the book covers such such non-medical aspects as quality control testing of equipment, the design and management of a radiopharmacy, radiation protection, and SPECT imaging. The second part is devoted to clinical investigations, and includes sections covering the latest techniques in cerebral blood flow imaging, white cell labelling and radioimmunoscintigraphy. The authors also furnish a unique look at the devices and diagnostic techniques that will affect this growing branch of medicine in future years.
