Radioisotopic Methods for Biological and Medical Research

"This is an up-to-date textbook for biologists and biomedical students covering . . . radioisotope methodology and safety. It assumes little knowledge of radioactive materials and develops mathematical discussions slowly and clearly." --Recensioni, Instituto Behring S.p.A. "[It] is an excellent reference for those who are interested in learning the theory of radioisotopic methods in biology and chemistry. The text is clearly organized and well-written. The text is useful for gaining an understanding of the scientific approach to the general theory and use of radionuclides in biological and medical research." --American Journal of Roentgenology "The clear presentation of fundamental material would make the book a good preclinical text and quality reading for the radiation safety officer. The author claims twenty-five years of experience in teaching introductory courses in radioisotopic methods, and that experience is evident on almost every page." --Clinical Nuclear Medicine "The book is well written and organized in a logical format. . . . an ample number of high-quality illustrations supplement the text. The clear and detailed presentation of subject matter, along with the use of practical examples and problem sets, provide some elements of a self-study text. I recommend it highly." --Investigative Radiology ". . . the book is good value for money, being well produced and surprisingly readable despite the weight of physics and mathematics." --K.R.F. Elliott, Federation of European Biochemical Societies "Very comprehensive and up to date LSC applications and methodology."--Richard Tullis, California State University, Hayward. "Superb up-to-date text!"--Beth Hoskins, PhD, University of Mississippi Medical Center
