Physics in Nuclear Medicine Simon R. Cherry, James A. Sorenson and Michael E. Phelps is an English-language textbook that provides in-depth guidance on the physics underlying modern nuclear medicine. This reference work is aimed at professionals and students in higher education who want to delve into the science behind nuclear imaging with radioactive tracers.
The book covers the latest developments in nuclear medicine, such as hybrid imaging (PET/CT and SPECT/CT), small animal studies, and tracer kinetics in neuroreceptor imaging. The clear explanations of analytic equations, technical instrumentation, and the underlying physics support practical use in research and clinical applications.
With complete information on emission computed tomography and advanced mathematical concepts, this book is an indispensable source for understanding the complexity of nuclear techniques. The updated fourth edition also offers a well-organized layout and extensive data to support day-to-day practice.
Topics such as nuclear medicine, medical radiology, and radiotherapy make this work relevant in clinical and professional settings.
