A clear concise nuclear medicine text for the radiologist.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Concise. Easy to read. Excellent images. Three simple phrases for an excellent textbook. I was able to easily master and use this textbook on my first month of nuclear medicine and kept it "handy" for its tables and images. The pearls section at the end of each chapter were excellent for directing to truly key points. It is an excellent textbook for the _radiology_ resident and a good introductory textbook for the _nuclear medicine_ resident. A nuclear medicine resident would probably want to get a more detailed and comprehensive textbook. The chapter on PET was a nice addition to this book.
Best Nuclear Medicine Text for Radiology Residents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
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.
New edition of classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
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).

This book is the best textbook I've used for Nuclear Medicine images. The students love it and so do I! It is to the point and easy to read concerning practical imaging information.

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.
