Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent Book   2009-10-10
By Jorge Picado
I am a Nuclear Medicine technology student and I highly recommend this book. It doesnt contain some of the most basic information but as long as you already have some basic knowledge of the nuclear physics and nuclear medicine itself, it is a great book. I has standarized protocols for various exams and gives which come real handy; also gives you the dosimetry for each exam which allows you to see which the critical organs for various exams are.
Lots of pictures and examples
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is going into the field of nuclear medicine
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Essentially Great!   2007-10-30
By Cathy A. Craig (Portland, OR USA)
The book is really popular in the Nuclear Medicine Department and with the doctors who aren't comfortable reading Nuclear Medicine. This is quite simply a great reference book for anyone working in Nuclear Medicine.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  The best   2007-04-23
By R. Miller
Mettler's book is the best! Don't get the Requisites. This book is all you need for residency and boards.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  A clear concise nuclear medicine text for the radiologist.   2007-03-21
By Richard L. Barger, Jr. (Michigan)
Concise. Easy to read. Excellent images. Three simple phrases for an excellent textbook. I was able to easily master and use this textbook on my first month of nuclear medicine and kept it "handy" for its tables and images. The pearls section at the end of each chapter were excellent for directing to truly key points. It is an excellent textbook for the _radiology_ resident and a good introductory textbook for the _nuclear medicine_ resident. A nuclear medicine resident would probably want to get a more detailed and comprehensive textbook. The chapter on PET was a nice addition to this book.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Best Nuclear Medicine Text for Radiology Residents   2007-02-09
By Eagle Vision (Southeastern United States)
Encompassing the spectrum of Nuclear Medicine in a concise textbook is an amazing feat. Each chapter is organized well by outlining the various indications, clinical scenarios and pearls for each chapter. Images are clear and annotations are easy to follow. Each chapter is organized by basic physics, instrumentation, artifacts, and quality control, as well as by organ system.

In the Appendix, there are 'Unknown Cases' for Self assessment, as well as common protocols, and other pertinent information that does not clutter the content of each chapter (as what has been done in the Requisites Series).

This is the best text for understanding nuclear medicine for a radiologist. I highly recommend this book.
