内容説明

Radiation Safety in Nuclear Medicine responds to the pressing need for a specially designed textbook for nuclear medicine (NM) students, physicians, and technologists, which details everyday practice of NM, its benefits, and risks. Each chapter is organized in four sections: The Rationale: The reasons(s) for applying safety procedures The Principles: The scientific basis of the safety procedures The Practice: How to implement procedures The Homework: Real-life problems encountered in everyday NM practice in hospitals and clinics
