Contents:
Basic nuclear medicine physics -- Interaction of radiation with matter -- Formation of radionuclides -- Nonscintillation detectors -- Scintillation detectors -- Imaging instrumentation -- single-photon emission computed tomography -- Positron emission tomography -- X-ray computed tomography -- Hybrid imaging systems: PET-CT and SPECT-CT -- Image reconstruction, processing, and display -- Information technology -- Quality control -- Radiation biology -- Radiation dosimetry -- Radiation safety -- Management of nuclear event casualties -- Appendix A: Common nuclides -- Appendix B: Major dosimetry for common radiopharmaceuticals -- Appendix C: Sample calculations of the S value -- Appendix D: Guide to nuclear regulatory commission publications -- Appendix E: Recommended reading by topic -- Index.
Summary: This Third Edition of Nuclear Medicine Physics and Instrumentation expands this illustrated review and introductory guide to nuclear medicine physics and instrumentation. The authors present nuclear medicine-related physics and engineering concepts clearly and concisely. Included in the text are introductory chapters on relevant quantum mechanics, methods of radionuclide production, and the interaction of radiation with matter. Further, the text discusses the basic function of the components of scintillation and non-scintillation detector systems. An information technology secti.
