About this book
Reviews
“The target audience includes nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, technologists, or others involved in pediatric nuclear imaging. … this book ultimately fulfills its goal of providing the necessary information about the appropriate use of nuclear medicine in the care of children. The book is concise, current, and well organized. I would recommend it to pediatric nuclear medicine subspecialists around the world.” (Daniel Peter Thut, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2016)
“All chapters are comprehensive and well structured, covering clinical and technical (radiopharmaceuticals, instrumentation) aspects, interpretation and pitfalls; a table of contents precedes each of them, thus facilitating quick search for particular information. The book is pleasant to read with numerous illustrations that are well chosen and of excellent quality. This makes it an outstanding tool for teaching students, technologists and nuclear medicine residents. … this book should be at hand for staff members, above all physicians, technologists and nurses.” (Angelika Bischof Delaloye, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 43, 2016)
