A working reference for the clinical nuclear medicine laboratory. The procedures are presented as proven guidelines around which more detailed, facility-specific protocols may be designed. Imaging procedures are presented for bone and joints; the heart; central nervous system; endocrine, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, pulmonary, and vascular systems; and also various in vitro procedures. Principle, indications, limitation, radiopharmaceutical and absorbed dose, patient preparation, procedure, and notes and interpretation are given for each procedure. Chapters are included on quality assurance, radionuclide handling, and radiation safety.
