Radiation exposure causes harm to humans and is strictly controlled by several regulatory authorities (NRC, FDA, EPA, DOT, etc). The practice of nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials in patients and research, and is well regulated by these agencies. However, information on radiation safety practice in nuclear medicine and research areas is scattered throughout the literature and federal registers. For busy nuclear technologists and professionals, it is quite time consuming to look for and acquire specific information and instructions to follow in radiation-related occasions and incidents. This guide provides ready-made, handy information on radiation safety as required in the practice of nuclear medicine, presented in a concise form for easy understanding and quick reference related to a given situation and/or incident. This is an ideal reference for nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists, and researchers using radioactive materials. . 606 $aNuclear medicine 606 $aMedical physics 606 $aRadiation 606 $aNuclear Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29048 606 $aMedical and Radiation Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27060 615 0$aNuclear medicine. 615 0$aMedical physics. 615 0$aRadiation. 615 14$aNuclear Medicine. 615 24$aMedical and Radiation Physics. 676 $a614.839 676 $a616.07575 700 $aSaha$b Gopal B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0520745 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349361703321 996 $aRadiation Safety in Nuclear Medicine$91737502 997 $aUNINA
