Written by one of the world's leading experts, this text describes in detail the use of internal dose calculations in nuclear medicine. While radiation therapy with external sources of radiation always employs calculations of dose, this is not routinely done in nuclear medicine therapy. This book discusses how to do dose calculations for diagnostic nuclear medicine drugs which is needed during drug approval. It also touches on how to perform more and better dose calculations in the future.

The text is a practical introduction that guides the reader through fundamental concepts in the calculation of radiation dose, including discussions of standardized models, methods of calculations, and available software applications.

This book provides an overview of all relevant topics in the field of radiation protection (health physics). It serves as an essential handbook for practicing health physics professionals, and is ideal as a teaching text for courses at university level.
