Rezensionen

"This concise guide is an introductory book to nuclear medicine, giving an easy and quick information on all the most important clinical applications without going into technical details. Primarily written for medical students, it can be very useful for referring physicians, who can better understand clinical indications. It can be also helpful for many others, including residents in other disciplines, practitioners, technologists, and nurses who want to be introduced to Nuclear Medicine." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 48, 2021)

"This is an excellent overview of conventional scintigraphy with great chapter structure and readability. It is a good book for nuclear medicine trainees who would like to do a quick review before their examinations and also for experienced nuclear medicine physicians who would liketo refresh their conventional nuclear medicine skills."
