Nuclear Medicine Physics: The Basics

This 7th edition book offers a nice update since the 6th edition (2004) that I used when I took the Nuclear Cardiology Boards the first time.It's subject matter is clearly presented and this edition is a bit more clinical in its tone.The only reason to read it is to prepare for the CBNC Exam/Recert Exam.It hits the mark. Just buy it.

This book is remarkable. It covers nearly all the basics, without going into unnecessary depth, and therefore is very appropriate for board exam purposes, and also, to gain a quick, well-tuned footing on the basics of nuclear medicine. It is not as extensive as the book by Cherry, Sorenson and Phelps, and actually that is its strength, as it still captures nearly all things relevant.

This is an excellent book for learning physics for nuclear boards. It is very easy to read and the author must be applauded for explaining physics so easily.I think everyone who wants to know nuclear cardiology should read this book in and out.I recommend this book along with book by vitola as a must have.

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

After taking the NM boards, I realized that this book was absolutely useless. Cherry and Phelps' has all the physics you need.

Very easy to slip into my handbag and dip into at work, accompanies my nuclear physics course at university nicely. Is more of a medical perspective on medicine physics but still good for physicists with equations decay diagrams and questions at the end of every chapter and answers in the back. Well worth the £9 I paid for it! Lovely book.

came and very usful

A very didactic text achieving the most important points for a nuclear physician interested in deepening their knowledge in physics
