Reviews for Nuclear Medicine: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals and Patients

From the book reviews: This book is an attempt to address this issue and provide information about nuclear medicine procedures and explain the commonly used terms in nuclear medicine and radiation protection. ... a useful addition to nuclear medicine literature ... it is more likely to be used by trainees in nuclear medicine and radiology rather than patients and other non-nuclear medicine related healthcare professionals. (Alp Notghi, RAD Magazine, March, 2015)
