Overview

This fascinating volume is a comprehensive guide to the underlying principles and areas of application of single photon emission tomography (SPECT) in nuclear medicine. It brings together all the aspects of theory, physics, instrumentation, image processing and quality assurance needed to understand and perform high quality SPECT. It is, without doubt, the most complete reference on SPECT fundamentals published to date and is essential reading for relevant practitioners.
