Includes the basic scientific and safety information of the original while including a section on imaging instrumentation and discussing various modalities. This title shows revisions in the Code of Federal Regulations and various therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals that use molecular targeting as a method of localization that may become routine. "...very readable format ... numerous tables, figures, and sample problems. Each chapter concludes with problems for the student to solve. ...offers extensive coverage of the subject. ...The chapters on radiatiosn physics, units of radiation exposure and dose, and radiobiology are thorough and well written.' - Jeffry A. Siegel, writing in International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics 2007, 69(4) "Although the target audience consists of nuclear medicine technologist students, the basic physics and radiobiology make this book a good secondary review for nuclear cardiologists and radiologists preparing for their boards. ... easy to follow. Well done tables and Diagrams ... .  Radiobiology and internal dosimetry are presented well and the coverage of radiation physics adequately meets the training levelfor nuclear medicine technologists."
