Review

"With its excellent quality images, this is a valuable addition to the field. This is one of only a few comprehensive atlases in the field of nuclear medicine, and is expected to remain a valuable reference for many years to come. It should be available in every nuclear medicine department."
―Bennett S. Greenspan, MD, MS, Medical College of Georgia for Doody's Review Service

"The editors recognise the multifaceted nature of nuclear medicine and have collaborated with over 60 co-contributors, all international authorities in their specialised areas, to provide comprehensive chapters on all essential topics in nuclear medicine. Each is described in accurate detail and with emphasis on pitfalls encountered and with highest quality imaging to complement them. The editors ensure that the chapters are easy to read and well referenced."
