Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Exam: Basic Science - Magdy M. Khalil

This book is designed to present Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging in questions and answers format and will be the ideal companion before taking board examinations or national testing or any other form of certification related to nuclear medicine and molecular imaging.

Both fundamental physics concepts and practice-oriented information on instrumentation including imaging and non-imaging equipment are presented. Several topics and chapter have been included covering the wide range and spectrum of the underlying basics and fundamentals such as radiation physics, interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detectors, radiopharmacy and radiopharmaceuticals, image processing and quantitation, gamma camera, tomographic imaging including single photon and positron emission tomography, hybrid imaging, radiomics and artificial intelligence. All those topics were covered in this single volume to make it as one-stop-shop examination resource for many colleagues in the field.

The book represents an easy reference to memorizing concepts and a practical tool to study the rules and principles in nuclear medicine technology and techniques. The multiple choice questions and true/false queries are aimed to interrogate the capability of interested readers and their skills to solve problems and finally to retrieve the underlying basic principles and fundamental concepts.
