Rezensionen

"The first highlight of this book, a trait common to other entries in the series and a unique selling point, is how international it is. ... this is another great entry in a fantastic series that is more and more aimed at all healthcare professionals working in nuclear medicine and PETCT such as technologists and radiographers, nurses, physicists and other allied healthcare professionals, as well as the clinicians in the series title (both referring clinicians and specialists)." (André Nunes, RAD Magazine, July, 2019)
