SPECT : Basic Science and Clinical Applications

A comprehensive guide to the underlying principles and areas of application of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) in nuclear medicine, this book is essential reading for graduates in science, medicine, engineering and information technology.

The most complete book on SPECT fundamentals published to date, it brings together the theory, physics, instrumentation, image processing and quality assurance aspects necessary to understand and perform high quality SPECT.

This single reference work provides an in-depth explanation and presentation of state-of-the-art SPECT covering the basic scientific principles and applications of SPECT.

The text is invaluable for advanced trainees, and consultants in medicine such as radiologists, internists studying nuclear medicine, and others in related fields who use SPECT techniques (e.g., neurologists, oncologists, cardiologists and medical students).

It is also suitable for physicists, chemists, pharmacists, engineers and technologists working with SPECT technology.
