This fourth edition delivers the essential, up‑to‑date guidance nuclear medicine professionals need in an intuitive and practical format. Designed for real‑world clinical use, it walks readers step‑by‑step through today’s most advanced scans and therapies, from foundational principles to highly specialized procedures.

The book opens with a crisp, accessible introduction to nuclear medicine, then moves alphabetically from procedure to procedure through key diagnostic techniques—including liver SPECT, cardiac stress testing, and more—so readers can quickly grasp both the “how” and the “why” of each procedure. Cutting-edge PET imaging methods are presented next, followed by comprehensive coverage of all major therapies and theranostic applications shaping modern practice.

The second half of the text serves as a quick‑reference resource packed with the tools technologists rely on every day: essential conversion tables, radiopharmaceuticals and equations, drug intervention guidelines, and other high‑value clinical data.

Clear, practical, and built for fast access in busy environments, this is an indispensable guide for nuclear medicine technologists, clinicians, educators, and students alike.
