This work has four major objectives: to provide the trainee in radiology or nuclear medicine with a practical and relevant overview of nuclear medicine, with an emphasis on diagnostic radionuclide techniques; to improve the necessary non-mathematical "feel" for important principles; to provide the non-medical scientist or para-medical technologist with a concise and informative overview of clinically relevant information; and to provide an accessible bench book, giving at least a starting point - and frequently an answer - when unusual queries are received or less common procedures undertaken. The intention is not to supply a "recipe book" of pre-digested solutions but rather to provide a sound foundation on which the reader can build a knowledge of where and how nuclear medicine techniques may assist in patient care. Covering the whole field of nuclear medicine, this work sets out to provide a resource that is short enough to be useful as a text book, but comprehensive enough to be a useful source of reference.
