Excellent Book October 10, 2009
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
Essentially Great! October 30, 2007
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.
The best April 23, 2007

Mettler's book is the best! Don't get the Requisites. This book is all you need for residency and boards.
A clear concise nuclear medicine text for the radiologist. March 21, 2007
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.
Best Nuclear Medicine Text for Radiology Residents February 9, 2007

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.
