"The greatest interest of the text, which makes it a must-have for anyone who wants to learn and/or practice the discipline, is the inclusion, together with the most diffuse diagnostic and therapeutic methods, well explained in the dedicated chapters as fundamental core of the daily activities, of ancient techniques, almost disappeared in current clinical practice.... Compared to the previous edition, many chapters have been added, including those on recently FDA-approved radio pharmaceuticals, with ample space dedicated to recent therapeutic applications and the adoption of the latest protocols.... each chapter is preceded by a general approach that identifies areas of application of individual procedures.... Covering the entire spectrum of Nuclear Medicine, the book may be suggested to nuclear medicine physicians and general radiologists, including trainees, requiring an easily accessible text for their professional preparation or for a daily use in clinical practice."
