Acknowledgments
As in earlier editions, many thanks go to Dr. Abass Alavi; without his support this book would not exist. It is a pleasure and privilege to work with Ms. Dörthe Mennecke-Bühler, Dr. Ute Heilman, Ms. Wilma McHugh and their colleagues at SpringerVerlag. I would also like to thank Mr. Frank Gontowski for igniting my interest in nuclear medicine technology and for being a highly valued friend. K.R.
