Radioisotopic Methods for Biological and Medical Research

Zusatztext it really covers all of the basic aspects of tracer methods ... Dr. Knoche deserves credit for his precise but simple delineation of "difficult" scientific and practical subjects in all chapters. This book is well written and a treasure cove of important information for scientists involved in basic research. It would be very useful for a formal lecture course! and I recommend it highly. Zusammenfassung This is an up-to-date textbook for biologists and biomedical scientists covering the basics of radioisotope methodology and safety. Radioisotopes are widely used in biological and medical research, particularly in biochemistry. Graduate students and technicians usually learn how to use radioisotopes through short training courses or as part of laboratory courses in biology and biochemistry. This text was written for use in courses on the theoretical aspects of radioisotopic methods or for self-study and reference; it assumes little knowledge of radioactive materials and develops mathematical discussions slowly and clearly. Inhaltsverzeichnis An overview of regulations and responsibilities for users of radioactive materials; I- Review of nuclear physics; II- Detection and measurement of radioactivity; III- Biological effects of radiation and radiation safety; IV- Radiotracer methodology; Appendices.
