The day-to-day innovations seen in the field are, in great part, due to the integration and employment of many scientific bases with complex technologic advances. The aim of this reference book, Basic Sciences of Nuclear Medicine, is to provide the reader with a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the scientific bases of nuclear medicine, covering different topics and concepts that underlie many investigations and procedures performed in the field. Topics include radiation and nuclear physics, radiopharmaceuticals, medical statistics, radiobiology and radiation dosimetry, image processing, hybrid imaging (SPECT/CT, PET/MRI), small animal imaging, compartmental modeling, and imaging informatics.
