21 Free Nuclear Medicine Books [PDF]

by InfoBooks

These nuclear medicine books in PDF take you from the atom to the clinic. You'll find radiation physics, PET/CT and SPECT imaging, radiopharmacy and radionuclide therapy.

Most titles come from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which trains nuclear medicine teams around the world. They include a physics handbook, PET/CT atlases built on real cases and guides for hospital radiopharmacies.

Nuclear medicine technologists, radiology residents and medical physics students will find solid material for board exams. Every book is free to read online or download, with no sign-up.
