This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

These volumes form the proceedings of the symposium organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency and held in Los Angeles in October, 1976, a meeting which some had tried hard to bring to the United Kingdom. This was the fifth symposium on the subject organized by the Agency; the first, held in Vienna in February, 1959, had 36 participants from 21 countries (Proceedings $4 = 24 shillings, hard covers pp. 266); the recent meeting had 276 participants and 80 observers from 27 countries. Just four persons, all well known personalities, were fortunate enough to have taken part in both meetings.

Volume I has seven main sections, covering quality control, detectors, tomography, instrumentation and data processing, complementary methods, image evaluation and reports on IAEA co-ordinated research programmes.
