From R Edward Coleman, MD, Professor of Radiology, Vice-Chair, Department of Radiology, Duke University Medical Center:
"The Year Book of Nuclear Medicine highlights the articles in clinical nuclear medicine that relate to the everyday practice of nuclear medicine.
The editors strive to review articles of current interest with a focus on those related to new technology. Advances in insturmentation, radiation safety, radionuclide lung scans compared with computed tomographic pulmonary angiography in suspected pulmonary embolism, detection of coronary artery disease, role of PET/CT in oncology, and the use of radionuclide therapy in thyroid cancer and lymphoma are some of the topics covered in the Year Book."
