 Radiology Resident November 5, 2006
C. Murdock (Saint Louis, MO)
Ideal book for radiology resident nuclear medicine rotations. New chapter on PET imaging is great.
 not the best introductory text October 20, 2006

It's not a stellar member of the essentials series.
I only read the first three or four chapters. There are many typographical errors and factual inconsistencies in the material that I read. I thought that by the third edition things like this would be ironed out. Hopefully by the 4th ed they'll get fixed.
Competes with Mettler January 25, 2006

This is a new edition. Compared to Mettler this probably has a greater range of coverage. Both books are very good. Supplement with PET books like PET/CT: A Case-based Approach by Conti (this may be too expensive for a resident) or PET and PET/CT: A Clinical Guide by Lin (less expensive).
Excellent text for nukes October 29, 2005

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great textbook for resident level study in nuclear medicine, and the first book I'd use for an introduction. It's concise, with excellent diagrams and pictures of scintograms, and it presents the physics and chemistry behind nuclear med, as well as clinical correlations and the actual technology itself (gamma cameras, collimator's, etc.). Although there are definitely more detailed (and much, much, longer and more expensive) texts out there, this is where to begin a study of nukes, and it can easily be encompassed within the scope of a one month rotation.

Overall, this is the best book of its type, but I was hoping for a more balanced look at the practice of nuclear medicine. The authors present their methods, based on their research, but do not give enough consideration to the work done by other researchers, specifically in the area of hepatobiliary scintigraphy. Still, this I like this book better than Metzger's and Palmer's.
