4.0 out of 5 stars A nice and useful book, November 12, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Nuclear Medicine Physics: The Basics (Paperback)

The book reviews the basic prerequisites for physicians interested in nuclear medicine. It is not complete and the image acquisition and processing part for SPECT imaging is sparse, but it's a very nice little book. I used it to prepare for the nuclear cardiology board certification exam and I found it very useful, although it is geared more towards general nuclear medicine. The book is clear and concise and the questions at the end of each chapter are extremly helpful.

This review is from: Nuclear Medicine Physics: The Basics (Paperback)

You really don't need more than this for ABNM boards physics. Maybe the exam was different for the other reviewer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for the NM Boards
After taking the NM boards, I realized that this book was absolutely useless. Cherry and Phelps' has all the physics you need.
