Reviews
The concept of the volume is to explain the mathematical rules, which subtend the bio-distribution of radiopharmaceuticals by giving only the most valuable information that can be applied in clinical setting. This particular approach makes the book extremely useful ... . The book is enriched ... by figures of clinical cases, by many tables, graphs and cartoons ... . an interesting, detailed and cultured publication ... . this volume cannot be absent in all the libraries of diagnostic imaging departments ... . (Teresa Mannarino and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, November, 2016)
The book has original content, difficult to find in other publications: the mathematics and biology of the most used radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine are presented, approaching the topic from a clinical point of view. ... this book represents an interesting, detailed and cultured publication about a clinical way of learning the bio-distribution of radiopharmaceuticals. We retain that this volume cannot be absent in all the libraries of diagnostic imaging departments, as a training stimulus either for students and for teachers.

Author Information
William C. Klingensmith III, M.D. attended Cornell University in Ithaca, NY and then Cornell University’s College of Medicine in New York City. He completed an internship in medicine at the University of Oregon School of Medicine in Portland, OR, a residency in radiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, CO, and a fellowship in nuclear medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. Then he returned to the University of Colorado School of Medicine as the head of nuclear medicine for seven years. He then joined Radiology Imaging Associates, a large academically oriented private practice radiology group in Denver. After 25 years in private practice he returned to the University of Colorado School of Medicine to again head nuclear medicine. Dr. Klingensmith has had an interest in the mathematics and biology of radiopharmaceutical localization throughout his career. During his nuclear medicine fellowship he determined the information content of first circulation time-activity curves. More recently he developed the clinically oriented equation for clearance of a radiopharmaceutical from blood into tissue, and the general algorithm for determining whether a physiologic measurement needs to be normalized for body size.
