Preface
There are few up-to-date books dealing with the Nuclear Medicine specialty as a discipline per se, i.e., intended as complete textbooks providing the rationale for understanding the physical, chemical, biological, and pathophysiological bases of all the applications of nuclear medicine in the routine clinical practice, including diagnosis and therapy. In addition to the expertise in therapy with radionuclides, the modern specialist in nuclear medicine must be a specialist in multimodality imaging. This requirement is th
