About the Author :
Laura Harkness-Brennan is Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Impact in the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Liverpool. For 3 years, Professor Harkness-Brennan has been leading a national STFC funded Cancer Diagnosis Research Network, promoting the formation of interdisciplinary teams to address key challenges in cancer diagnosis. In 2010 she won the Shell and Institute of Physics Award for the Very Early Career Woman physicist of the year, and in 2015 was highly commended in the UK Women of the Future awards (Science category).

Review :
The book is intended for educational purpose that can be used by the professionals also. From the student’s perspective, the book can be quite useful, as it covers almost all the aspects of nuclear medicine in a concise manner. The book is very well written. The contents are put in a logical order and easy to understand. The style, organization, and size of the book are appropriate from the student’s point of view and for the professional working in nuclear medicine. To illustrate the concepts, the author has provided the numerical examples, provided data in tables, and included colored photographs wherever necessary, for example, showing the distribution of radiopharmaceuticals in patient scan. The book is enclosed with the given appendix of chemical symbols which is also advantageous to the reader. Anil Kumar Pandey, Journal of Medical Physics, March 2024 Should be essential preliminary reading for anyone interested in pursuing a career as a Nuclear Medicine Physicist or seeking to understand what goes on in Nuclear Medicine. D C Barber, Contemporary Physics, Oct 2024
