What is nuclear medicine? -- Basic atomic and nuclear physics -- Modes of radioactive decay -- Decay of radioactivity -- Radionuclide and radiopharmaceutical production -- Interaction of radiation with matter -- Radiation detectors -- Electronic instrumentation for radiation detection systems -- Nuclear counting statistics -- Pulse-height spectrometry -- Problems in radiation detection and measurement -- Counting systems -- The gamma camera : basic principles -- The gamma camera : performance characteristics -- Image quality in nuclear medicine -- Tomographic reconstruction in nuclear medicine -- Single photon emission computed tomography -- Positron emission tomography -- Hybrid imaging : SPECT/CT and PET/CT -- Digital image processing in nuclear medicine -- Tracer kinetic modeling -- Internal radiation dosimetry -- Radiation safety and health physics.
Summary: Physics in Nuclear Medicine - by 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 online at www.expertconsult.com, along with the fully searchable text and calculation tools. Master the physics of nuclear medicine with thorough explanations of analytic equations and illustrative graphs to make them accessible. Discover the technologies used in state-of-the-art nuclear medicine imaging systems Fully grasp the process of emission computed tomography with advanced mathematical concepts presented in the appendices. Utilize the extensive data in the day-to-day practice of nuclear medicine practice and research. Tap into the expertise of Dr. Simon Cherry, who contributes his cutting-edge knowledge in nuclear medicine instrumentation.
