Preface to Second Edition
With high admiration and respect, we remember Professor Henry Wagner who wrote the foreword to the first edition of this concise book. He passed away after leaving a wealth of knowledge and contribution for the field of Nuclear Medicine. The second edition of this book continues to provide a simple presentation for the principles of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. It includes updates in the areas of imaging as well as in therapeutic applications of nuclear medicine. It provides essential information for young professionals in the field including physicians and technologists. It has also been simplified to be a quick reference for the referring physicians. Furthermore, it should be valuable for medical students who are being prepared for personalized medicine. The book starts with a chapter on basic principles familiarizing the reader with the basis of nuclear medicine, its scope, and applications.
