Review of the third edition from Radiology by RSNA-
".This new edition of Physics in Nuclear Medicine is organized well
and written clearly. It accomplishes the authors' goal of providing
a single volume that serves as both a textbook for radiology
residents, scientists, and technologists and a reference for
physicians and scientists in related fields. Overall, the authors
have done an excellent job of elucidating the expanding and complex
role of physics principles in nuclear medicine."
