This is another one of those must have items for anyone who works in the nuclear medicine field. I find myself constantly referring to it. The first section contains a dictionary of medicine and nuclear medicine related terms. Very useful for figuring out some of those really obscure acronyms or alien medical words. The second section is an invaluable reference library of all things radioactive and radioisotope related. Particularly useful is the section on radiopharmaceuticals. Organized by radioisotope, it lists the most common pharmaceutical forms each radioisotope is used for, and gives the form, uses and dosages for most.

Unfortunately, according to Amazon, it appears to be out of print, and my edition was published in 1990, so newer imaging agents aren't covered. Still a valuable resource for the bookshelf of every medical/health physicist, radiologist and technician.
