This excerpt was created in the absence of an abstract.

This volume follows a familiar pattern for textbooks of nuclear medicine, in that the first third is devoted to basic science— physics, imaging techniques, radiopharmaceuticals, radiation dosimetry and computing—and the remaining two-thirds discusses the application of these techniques to different organ systems. There is a healthy emphasis on the principles underlying the techniques, with good discussions of the physiology involved in many cases, for example bone and lung.
