5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Essentials of Nuclear Medicine by Mettler, June 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Imaging, 4e (Hardcover)

Concise, accurate information and good supporting bibliography. Plenty of illustrations and informative tables. Appendix on recommended protocols is very helpful. Radiation safety guidelines for pregnant females and breastfeeding mothers is essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars New edition of classic, January 24, 2006

Kurt Brooks - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Imaging 5th edition (Hardcover)

This is a new edition of a classic book. Has new section on PET which is good but not adequate given how much PET is used nowadays. Supplement with PET books like PET/CT: A Case-based Approach by Conti (this may be too expensive for a resident) or PET and PET/CT: A Clinical Guide by Lin (less expensive).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Nuclear Medicine Text for Radiology Residents, February 8, 2007

Eagle Vision (Southeastern United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Essentials of Nuclear Medicine Imaging 5th edition (Hardcover)

Encompassing the spectrum of Nuclear Medicine in a concise textbook is an amazing feat. Each chapter is organized well by outlining the various indications, clinical scenarios and pearls for each chapter. Images are clear and annotations are easy to follow. Each chapter is organized by basic physics, instrumentation, artifacts, and quality control, as well as by organ system.

In the Appendix, there are 'Unknown Cases' for Self assessment, as well as common protocols, and other pertinent information that does not clutter the content of each chapter (as what has been done in the Requisites Series).

This is the best text for understanding nuclear medicine for a radiologist. I highly recommend this book.
