Master the physics that every nuclear medicine decision rests on.

From the nucleus to the dose report, this handbook builds the field one derivation at a time — no memorized formulas, no black boxes. Every equation is derived, every number is computed in front of you, and every worked example shows the method rather than just the answer.

Inside you'll find:

16 chapters spanning decay physics, detectors, counting statistics, radionuclide production, radiopharmaceuticals, the gamma camera, collimation, SPECT, PET, reconstruction, hybrid imaging, quality control, internal dosimetry, radionuclide therapy, and radiation protection
160 practice problems, each with a fully worked solution
116 worked examples carried through with units at every line
A consolidated equation reference, a symbol guide, verified physical data tables, and a 94-term glossary

Written for medical physicists, residents, and senior technologists — anyone who must not only apply a result but defend it. Whether you are preparing for board examinations, commissioning a scanner, prescribing a therapy activity, or designing a shielding barrier, you will find the reasoning laid bare and the arithmetic checked.

This is the book you keep on the bench, not the shelf.
