  • "The Fourth Edition of Dr. Gopal B. Saha's Physics and Radiobiology of Nuclear Medicine was prompted by the need to provide up-to-date information to keep pace with the perpetual growth and improvement in the instrumentation and techniques employed in nuclear medicine since the last edition published in 2006. Like previous editions, the book is intended for radiology and nuclear medicine residents to prepare for the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, American Board of Radiology, and American Board of Science in Nuclear Medicine examinations, all of which require a strong physics background. Additionally, the book will serve as a textbook on nuclear medicine physics for nuclear medicine technologists taking the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board examination.The Fourth Edition includes new or expanded sections and information for:* PET/MR, including the attenuation correction method and its quality control tests;* accreditation of nuclear medicine and PET facilities;* solid state digital cameras;* time of flight and scatter correction techniques;* CT scanners and attenuation correction in SPECT/CT;* partial volume effects;* quality control of CT scanners;* ion chamber survey meters, proportional counters, and G-M counters."

  • "A new edition of a book is always warranted when it needs to be updated because of advances in the ?eld over time. Although the basics of physics, instrumentation, and radiobiology have not changed, their tech- logical applications have been changing and improving continually. Nuclear medicine professionals worldwide appreciate the book so much that the previous edition has been published in Japanese. Changes in content and appreciation of the book are the two guiding factors in writing this third edition. Like the previous editions, the book is aimed at residents taking the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, the American Board of Radiology (Physics part), and the American Board of Radiology with Special C- petency in Nuclear Medicine examinations,and for the technologists taking the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certifying Board. The book contains 16 chapters,and at the end of each chapter,references and suggested readings have been updated and new questions have been added where appropriate. The ?rst 10 chapters have only minor changes because of the basic nature of the contents. A section on the chi-square test and evaluation of diagnostic tests has been added in Chapter 4. Additional radionuclides have been included in Table 5. 1. In Chapter 8, the section on scintillation detectors has been rearranged and the section on dead time has been expanded. In Chapter 10, the sections on uniformity, gamma camera tuning, and quality control tests have been revised. A new section on software and DICOM has been added in Chapter 11."@en
  • "A text for technologists, practitioners, residents and students in radiology and nuclear medicine, presenting the advances in the field since 1993, the date of the last edition. Includes coverage of digital cameras, the use of computers in nuclear medicine, new NRC regulations, and other new material."@en
  • "This second edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded, prompted by the success of the first edition. Supplemented with tables and illustrations throughout the book, each chapter provides the reader with well-delineated descriptions of the different aspects of physics and radiation biology related to nuclear medicine. The last edition was successful and highly acclaimed, as Dr. Saha made many complex concepts readily understandable for residents, students and practitioners in nuclear medicine. The book serves as an excellent text for nuclear medicine residents and technology students to prepare for their Board and Registry examinations. Special features in the Second Edition include: - Statistical tests: the Chi-Square test, the student t-test and linear regression; internal dosimetry based on uptake variation - Digital computers: data acquisition, filters, data processing; coincidence detector gamma camera; expanded chapter on radiation biology; criteria for patient release and breast feeding; DOT regulations."
  • "This book is a concise but complete presentation of the knowledge required of candidates for the American Board of Nuclear Medicine and American Board of Radiology examinations, as well as the Registry Examination in Nuclear Medicine that is required of Nuclear Medicine Technologists. The book contains 14 chapters. Chapters 1 to 6 deal with the basic properties of the atom and nucleus, radionuclidic decay, statistics of counting, production of radionuclides and interaction of radiation with matter. In chapters 7 to 11, various instruments such as ionization chambers, scintillation well counters, thyroid probes and gamma cameras, tomographic scanners (SPECT and PET) are described. The principles of operation and various parameters affecting the operation of these instruments are included in these chapters. Chapter 12 presents a brief account of radiobiology, highlighting the effects of radiation on man. Chapter 13 describes the calculation of internal dosimetry. Various regulations related to radiation protection are presented in Chapter 14. Included at the end of the book are several appendices on various constants, a glossary of terms used in the text and answers to mathematical problems given at the end of each chapter. Physics and Radiobiology of Nuclear Medicine includes many self-assessment and review questions."
