Description
This book is a collection of all pertinent information on radiation safety applicable in nuclear medicine and research using radioactive materials. Radiation exposure causes harm to humans and is strictly controlled by several regulatory authorities (NRC, FDA, EPA, DOT, etc). The practice of nuclear medicine involves the use of radioactive materials in patients and research, and is well regulated by these agencies. However, information on radiation safety practice in nuclear medicine and research areas is scattered throughout the literature and federal registers. For busy nuclear technologists and professionals, it is quite time consuming to look for and acquire specific information and instructions to follow in radiation-related occasions and incidents. This guide provides ready-made, handy information on radiation safety as required in the practice of nuclear medicine, presented in a concise form for easy understanding and quick reference related to a given situation and/or incident. This is an ideal reference for nuclear medicine physicians, nuclear medicine technologists, and researchers using radioactive materials.
Reviews
Firstly I am not a Doctor, but I am someone who has extensive training and has trained people to be instructors in advanced life saving skills, pre hospital trauma life support and to use the advanced skills of using AEDs and hence understand the whole content of this book to a detailed level to be able to comment. Wiley without a doubt produce a lot of very high quality reference books and this is no exception. It is a modest 124 pages, yet filled to the brim with very concise extremely well written text by two eminent authors. With equally eminent consulting editors. It has very clear 31 chapters on electrocardiagrams recognition and treatment along with guidance to the interpretation of the 12 lead ECG. The introduction chapter has a QR code to the companion website to enable further learning and access to a lot of other material incliding checklists to aid learning. Absolutely loved the book and it gave me a bit of a refresher in every area, if your a medical student or junior then this is a must have book. Likewise for every paramedic. Highly recommended, Andrew
