Reviews

Khalil and colleagues should therefore be commended for compiling such a comprehensive text swiftly enough for it to be contemporary. It would provide an excellent grounding for a physicist, technologist, radiopharmacist or physician who has just entered the field. The clear print is illustrated with figures that really aid the readers' understanding and are mostly of excellent quality, and in colour. ... I would highly recommend this text ... .
