The good news is that the recent technological developments in radiotherapy, radionuclide diagnostics and therapy, digital imaging systems, and detection technology have raised hope that cancer will in the future be combatted more efficiently and effectively. For this goal to be achieved, however, safe use of radionuclides and detailed knowledge of radiation sources are essential. Radiation, Ionization, and Detection in Nuclear Medicine addresses these subjects and related issues very clearly and elaborately and will serve as the definitive source of detailed information in the field. Individual chapters cover fundamental aspects of nuclear radiation, including dose and energy, sources, and shielding; the detection and measurement of radiation exposure, with detailed information on mathematical modelling; medical imaging; the different types of radiation detector and their working principles; basic principles of and experimental techniques for deposition of scintillating materials; device fabrication; the optical and electrical behaviors of radiation detectors; and the instrumentation used in nuclear medicine and its application. The book will be an invaluable source of information for academia, industry, practitioners, and researchers. 606 $aNuclear medicine 606 $aRadioactivity$xPhysiological effect 606 $aRadiation 606 $aIonization 606 $aRadioactive substances$xDetection 615 0$aNuclear medicine. 615 0$aRadioactivity$xPhysiological effect. 615 0$aRadiation. 615 0$aIonization. 615 0$aRadioactive substances$xDetection. 676 $a616.07575 700 $aGupta$b Tapan$01062034 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437989203321 996 $aRadiation, ionization, and detection in nuclear medicine$94199975 997 $aUNINA
