• W620565009 abstract "This book is divided into nine chapters. first is a history of nuclear medicine. Chapters 2 through 6 discuss nuclear physics, electromagnetic radiation, electrostatics, radioactivity (production and decay), and detection and measurement of radiation. These are covered in 72 pages and are clearly stated and the detail is excellent for technologists. author is specially commended for the clarity and ease of understanding of the section on the decay processes of radioactive nuclei and the radionuclide generators. Chapter 7 discusses nuclear instrumentation in 19 pages. approach is excellent but the treatment is a shade too simple. This deficiency is especially prevalent in the section on the pulse height analysis and how these analyzers work. This is the most important area, as this ability to discriminate makes nuclear medicine unique in that function can be quantitated. Chapter 8 is on clinical nuclear medicine and is 41 pages long. Unfortunately the treatment is too simple and there is inadequate detail for most technologists to be able to adequately learn the various techniques of nuclear medicine. Mistakes with regard to pathophysiological mechanisms are made, such as the mention of sequestration of 198Au colloid instead of the correct term phagocytosis. A unified approach as to how radiopharmaceuticals localize would have been valuable rather than having a sentence here and there throughout the chapter. With regard to the methods of performing studies the author tends to describe the minimum acceptable study rather than the optimum; for example, the use of only a right lateral and anterior view for examining the liver rather than including the posterior and oblique views. This is compounded by stating that 150,000 to 300,000 count images are adequate, whereas the current minimum for a gamma is 300,000, more commonly 500,000 and some collect 1,000,000. No mention is made of cerebrospinal fluid imaging radiopharmaceuticals other than radioiodinated albumin whereas many use 111Indium-DTPA or 99mTechnetium albumin. terminology is often quaint, for example, the use of a gamma-ray camera rather than a gamma throughout the book; cleaner scan (Figure 8-9: in fact the gamma images are better than scan); use of nonmedical jargon such as Adam's apple and vascular bed are to be condemned in a technical book. Bone imaging is discussed with the initial sentence of The skeleton is one of the most troublesome systems for nuclear medicine examinations. Not only is this sentence grammatically incorrect but also erroneous, as bone imaging has been one 'of the easiest organs to study since July 1972 when convenient kits of 99mTechnetium-polyphosphate became available. Health physics is the subject of Chapter 9 and is a good review of nuclear medicine. Although there is room for improvement in the clinical sections, the section on physics and instrumentation make it well worth the reading for student technologists. In addition, due to its clear explanation of nuclear physics, the mechanisms of radioactivity production and decay, it is useful in the established laboratory as well. DAVID L.
