From the reviews:

"This comprehensive presentation ... covers fundamental concepts of nuclear medicine dosimetry including standardized models, methods of calculation, and software applications. ... The pocket-sized dimensions of the book make it easy to carry and consult frequently in everyday situations. The extensive references and tabulated data also make it a good study tool. ... This is a comprehensive, well documented, and well thought out practical approach ... in nuclear medicine. ... highly recommended for medical physicists, physicians, and residents practicing in the field of nuclear medicine." (Dimitris N. Mihailidis, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2008)

Written by a leading international authority in the field, this book is ideal for physicians and residents in nuclear medicine who want to improve their knowledge in internal dosimetry. The text is a practical introduction that guides the reader through fundamental concepts in the calculation of radiation dose, including discussions of standardized models, methods of calculations, and available software applications. This comprehensive guide discusses too the biological effects of radiation on living systems. The book also includes an overview of regulatory aspects related to the radiation dosimetry of new radiopharmaceuticals.
