In Memory of Niky Molho (1938–1993)
The training course held in Milan on November 2008 on Radiation Physics in Nuclear Medicine, on which basis this book is conceived, was dedicated to memory of Niky Molho, on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of his death. Niky Molho was Professor of Medical Physics at the Universit`a degli Studi di Milano (State University of Milan), Faculty of Medicine, and leader of the Research Unit on Medical Physics at the Department of Physics of the same University. It was February 21, 1993 when a sudden death took Niky away from his dedicated and passionate teaching and research activities at the age of 55. After receiving the University degree in Physics in 1962, he started to direct his research interests in the field of experimental nuclear physics, with particular attention for studies concerning reaction mechanisms, models of interpretation, gamma spectroscopy and instrumentation. From 1970 when he started to teach physics to the medical students of the Faculty of Medicine in Milan, he started also to focus his research activity toward the medical field, by making full use of his accumulated experiences an
