Springer-Verlag announces the new third edition of the standard text/reference of nuclear pharmacy. Previous editions were unanimously praised for their clarity and accuracy, as Dr. Saha set new standards for making complex theoretical concepts readily understandable for students and practitioners in nuclear pharmacy and nuclear medicine. The third edition has been thoroughly updated and judiciously expanded. Here's a look at what's new in the third edition: - an entire chapter devoted to instruments used for radiation detection and measurement - a section on disposal of radioactive materials - clinical uses of all new and existing radiopharmaceuticals - includes all new 99mTc and 123I-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, as well as radiolabeled leukocytes, platelets, and antibodies - up-to-date descriptions of the latest FDA regulations - expanded review questions at the end of several chapters.
Several appendices which include abbreviations, terms units and constants, answers to questions, and more. From Reviews of Previous Editions: "Well-written and factual; it provides the reader with a relatively straightforward description of the various agents and the parameters involved in the practice of nuclear pharmacy . . . This book is one of the relatively few texts presently available on the subject of nuclear pharmacy and serves as a suitable introductory text for students of nuclear pharmacy and radiopharmaceuticals." Clinical Nuclear Medicine "This is the first coverage of nuclear pharmacy suitable for use as a textbook on the subject. It is clearly written, concise yet comprehensive, profusely illustrated, and (most importantly) accurate. . . questions and arithmetic problems appear at the end of each chapter, followed by literature references for suggested reading." The Journal of Nuclear Medicine
