Written by Laura Harkness-Brennan

Modern medicine has developed a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques due to the complexity and susceptibility of the human body.

Radiation physics forms the basis of the widely used nuclear medicine techniques of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Radionuclide Therapy. The fundamentals of radioactivity, the synthesis and administration of radionuclides as radiopharmaceuticals to the body, and the detection and imaging of radiation will all be covered in this book, providing readers with an understanding of the physics of nuclear medicine. Additionally, the use of radionuclide therapy for the treatment of disorders like lymphoma, hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer will be investigated.
