Review :
"An excellent and concise introduction to the Monte Carlo method … provides excellent coverage of the basic principles of Monte Carlo technique for the simulation of nuclear medicine imaging and the up-to-date advances of widely used, general purpose Monte Carlo transport codes as well as simulations dedicated to nuclear medicine. As stated in the preface of the book, this should be an excellent guideline for 'students at graduate and undergraduate levels, and as a reference book on the Monte Carlo method in diagnostic nuclear medicine.'" —Health Physics, March 2014 Praise for the First Edition… very interesting and useful … many chapters [contain] … very detailed information about … methodology … helpful discussion of … underlying science and technology … good breadth of applications and approaches … extensive references. I recommend the book for the library shelf and for any researcher using or intending to use the Monte Carlo technique in this rapidly developing field. —Physics in Medicine & Biology … unique … brings together the essential elements of the applications of MC techniques to diagnostic nuclear medicine … a resource for the scientist … valuable reference … for the research student ... postgraduate courses could usefully use this as a recommended text. … well edited to provide a uniformity of style and presentation. The result is a book which can be read from cover to cover. … amply illustrated with relevant and helpful diagrams as well as extensive bibliographies … should be on the bookshelves of both researchers and students of radionuclide imaging … —Peter Jarritt, Scope, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 1999 … a uniquely well-informed offering on the important topic of Monte Carlo modeling in the development and evaluation of diagnostic imaging systems … eminently practical (… a vade mecum) for the medical physicist … a very accessible introduction for those who are just entering the field … —Donald Herbert, Doody Publishing, December 1998 … successfully achieves its main objectives of describing Monte Carlo methods, outlining Monte Carlo software packages presented in the literature and covering significant applications in SPET and PET research. —European Journal of Nuclear Medicine
