Methods involving nuclear physics are today finding applications in many disciplines, including important areas of medicine. This book intends to bridge the gap between the many applications in medicine and the underlying basic nuclear physics which needs to be understood by those applying the methods. In addition, those active in nuclear science will gain insight into the manifold applications of their subject. The main topics of the book are: physical foundations, instrumentation, diagnostics (imaging), therapies and radiation safety. The book will appeal to medical doctors active in nuclear medicine as well as to medical physicists.

Professor Klaus Bethge ist seit 1973 Professor an der Universität Frankfurt am Main. Nach seiner Promotion (1960) und Habilitation (1967) an der Universität Heidelberg wirkte er 1967-1969 als Research Associate an der University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
