---

After years of postgraduate training, many physicians have forgotten some (or most) of their undergraduate and/or higher school physics and may find submersion into nuclear medicine physics somewhat daunting. This book begins with a very basic introduction to nuclear physics and the interactions of radiation and matter; proceeds with discussions of nuclear medicine instrumentation used for production of nuclides, measurement of doses, surveying radioactivity, and imaging (including SPECT and PET); and finishes with chapters covering radiation biology.
