Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine A Physics Perspective / by David I. Hamilton.

In the development of many medical technologies the beginning is characterised by an emphasis on the basic scientific principles of the technology and the optimisa tion of the functional aspects of the technology. As a technology matures there is a tendency for the underlying principles to be forgo...
