This user friendly book is a delight to read and easy to understand. I am a Cardiologist with not much physics background and I was able to understand the principles of this book written by superb authors.

I recently attended the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology's Board Review Course and most of their illustrations of the principles of Nuclear Medicine Physics were directly Xeroxed from this book.

The explanations and diagrams are superior to any other book I have read on this topic. The multitude of pictures and images illustrating concepts, coupled with the easy to read text & practice MCQ questions at the end of each chapter, make this the ideal text for students or physicians preparing for examinations or future practice in Nuclear Medicine.

2 thumbs up, way-up !!!

bought it as used book for my brother,
i can't say anymore about the book. i can say that the previous user he used to highlight a lot in this book.

i bought used and i should expect to see it Used :p

I am a general cardiology fellow studying for nuclear boards, and definitely recommend this book. It is written at a perfect level of understanding for MDs studying for nuclear boards, and was written by two MDs. The depth of knowledge is just a little bit more in depth than what was covered at the ASNC nuclear board review course. Very easy to read, lots of illustrations. Each chapter has practice questions that are very helpful.

This book is not for someone interested in the actual physics of nuclear medicine. It is better suited for the medical folks that want to understand how some of their equipment functions. Still, it is short and encompasses several different areas of the science.

the book was new and in good condition but when i got to class everyone else had paid way less for their book so i felt ripped off.
