Essential of nuclear medicine physics [printed text] / Powsner, Rachel A. ; Powsner, Edward R.,  . -  2nd ed. . - Malden, Mass. : Blackwell Pub., 2006 . - viii, 206 p. : ill ; 26 cm. ISBN : 1-405-10484-8 : $ 99 Rev. ed. of: Essentials of nuclear medicine physics. 1998. Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Classification WN 440 Nuclear medicine Indexation Accidents, Radiation ; Nuclear Medicine ; Nuclear Physics ; Radiation ; Radiation Effects Abstract: After years of postgraduate training, many physicians have forgotten some (or most) of their undergraduate and/or higher school physics and may find submersion into nuclear medicine physics somewhat daunting. This book begins with a very basic introduction to nuclear physics and the interactions of radiation and matter; proceeds with discussions of nuclear medicine instrumentation used for production of nuclides, measurement of doses, surveying radioactivity, and imaging (including SPECT and PET); and finishes with chapters covering radiation biology. Contents note: Basic nuclear medicine physics -- Interaction of radiation with matter -- Formation of radionuclides -- Nonscintillation detectors -- Nonimaging scintillation detectors -- Imaging instrumentation -- Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) -- Positron emission tomography (PET) -- PET/CT -- Quality control -- Radiation biology -- Radiation dosimetry -- Radiation safety -- Radiation accidents.

Evidence-based Medical Monitoring / Paul Glasziou / Malden, Mass. : Blackwell Pub.

Evidence-based Medical Monitoring : from Principles to Practice [printed text] / Paul Glasziou, Editor ; Les Irwig, Author ; Jeffrey K. Aronson . - Malden, Mass. : Blackwell Pub. : London : BMJ books, [s.d.] . - xi, 362 p. : 62 ill. ISBN : 978-1-4051-5399-7 : € 69,74 Languages : English (eng) Descriptors: Indexation Aftercare ; Chronic Disease ; Evidence-Based Medicine Classification WT 500 Chronic Disease -- General works Abstract: Monitoring is a major component of management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and depression. Yet poor monitoring means healthcare costs are rising. This book discusses how monitoring principles adopted in other spheres such as clinical pharmacology and evidence-based medicine can be applied to chronic disease in the global setting. With contributions from leading experts in evidence-based medicine, it is a ground-breaking text for all involved in delivery of better and more effective management of chronic illnesses.
