Product Description
Experts in their fields provide up-to-date, comprehensive information on the physics underlying modern nuclear medicine and imaging using radioactively labeled tracers. They examine every aspect of the field--from basic atomic physics through radioactivity, isotope production, interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection, and imaging systems. Examples are presented with solutions worked out in step-by-step detail, illustrating important concepts and calculations.

 theory, not application. but not much theory. March 20, 2010
B. Casto (Ohio, USA)
The book is written as an overview of all aspects of nuclear medicine, and is successfully comprehensive in scope. It is more of a 'theory' book in that it does not offer, by proportion, much clinically relevant information. The theory happens to be limited in its derivations and is presented semi-qualitatively (equations are offered, but usually too general for those with research interests), though I'm sure it would have to be much thicker to incorporate said information.
Ultimately, it is a very accessible introduction to the science and would be useful in preparation for Nuc Med or Radiology (and similar) board exams, if augmented with more quantitatively detailed texts.

Book was in excellent condition. The shipping was also earlier than expected which is great considering classes were about to start. highly recommend purchasing from this vendor.

I like this text book..It is a great introductory book, very clear explanations, good references...It helped me a lot for my dissertation
Great introduction to Nuclear Medicine instrumentation January 11, 2007
A. M. K. Foudray (SF Bay Area, CA)
A great deal of the information that you will need to get your feet wet in the field of Nuclear Medicine physics is contained in this book. I have used it to teach medical residents and it follows the board exam material pretty faithfully. Well written.
Classic nuclear medicine textbook January 9, 2007

Simon Cherry has recently updated this venerated classic textbook originally written by Michael Phelps and Jim Sorenson. The revised and expanded book makes a timely contribution to modern imaging. I just used this book as a supplement to a graduate course at San Diego State University on "Physics of Imaging". It is clear, thorough and very well written. Steven Goetsch, Ph.D.
