The Pathophysiologic Basis of Nuclear Medicine [electronic resource] /
Elgazzar, Abdelhamid H.editor.
Begins with some basic information on cell and molecules and an explanation of how radiopharmaceuticals are localized in various normal and abnormal tissues. This book presents diagnostic applications and their clinical utilization in several chapters designed to link the basic relevant knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology.
