Nuclear medicine : practical physics, artifacts, and pitfalls

Nuclear medicine : practical physics, artifacts, and pitfalls / Daniel A. Pryma.

In contrast to most anatomic radiographic imaging techniques, nuclear medicine permits real time, non-invasive imaging of human physiology and pathophysiology and also allows for exquisite targeting of disease with therapeutic radiology. To open this window to the processes of human disease, one mus...
