The University of Chicago Press Life Atomic
Book SynopsisAfter World War II, the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) began mass-producing radioisotopes, sending out nearly 64,000 shipments of radioactive materials to scientists and physicians by 1955. Even as the atomic bomb became the focus of Cold War anxiety, radioisotopes represented the government's efforts to harness the power of the atom for peaceadvancing medicine, domestic energy, and foreign relations. In Life Atomic, Angela N. H. Creager tells the story of how these radioisotopes, which were simultaneously scientific tools and political icons, transformed biomedicine and ecology. Government-produced radioisotopes provided physicians with new tools for diagnosis and therapy, specifically cancer therapy, and enabled biologists to trace molecular transformations. Yet the government's attempt to present radioisotopes as marvelous dividends of the atomic age was undercut in the 1950s by the fallout debates, as scientists and citizens recognized the hazards of low-level radiation. Creager reveals that growing consciousness of the danger of radioactivity did not reduce the demand for radioisotopes at hospitals and laboratories, but it did change their popular representation from a therapeutic agent to an environmental poison. She then demonstrates how, by the late twentieth century, public fear of radioactivity overshadowed any appreciation of the positive consequences of the AEC's provision of radioisotopes for research and medicine.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Handbook of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular
Book SynopsisMathematical modelling is an important part of nuclear medicine. Therefore, several chapters of this book have been dedicated towards describing this topic. In these chapters, an emphasis has been put on describing the mathematical modelling of the radiation transport of photons and electrons, as well as on the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals between different organs and compartments. It also includes computer models of patient dosimetry. Two chapters of this book are devoted towards introducing the concept of biostatistics and radiobiology. These chapters are followed by chapters detailing dosimetry procedures commonly used in the context of diagnostic imaging, as well as patient-specific dosimetry for radiotherapy treatments. For safety reasons, many of the methods used in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are tightly regulated. Therefore, this volume also highlights the basic principles for radiation protection. It discusses the process of how guidelines and reTable of ContentsContentsPreface...............................................................................................................................viiEditor..................................................................................................................................ixContributors.......................................................................................................................xiChapter 1 Introduction to Biostatistics..........................................................................1Johan Gustafsson and Markus NilssonChapter 2 Radiobiology....................................................................................................17Lidia Strigari and Marta CremonesiChapter 3 Diagnostic Dosimetry.............................................................................................33Lennart Johansson† and Martin AnderssonChapter 4 Time- activity Curves: Data, Models, Curve Fitting, and Model Selection..........................69Gerhard GlattingChapter 5 Tracer Kinetic Modelling and Its Use in PET Quantification..............................................83Mark Lubberink and Michel KooleChapter 6 Principles of Radiological Protection in Healthcare..........................................................101Soren MattssonChapter 7 Controversies in Nuclear Medicine Dosimetry..................................................................115Michael G.

SPIE Press The Abundant Promise of Ultrasound in
Book SynopsisThis book is written for clinicians and engineers looking to learn about the new and exciting uses of ultrasound. Because it focuses on applications of ultrasound specifically for neurosurgery, the book addresses some of the reasons the use of ultrasound in neurosurgery has been slow compared to other fields of medicine (for example, cardiology, orthopedics, etc.). While review papers and books on similar topics have been published, these are not fully comprehensive nor up to date on all of the potential applications of ultrasound in neurosurgery. Our hope is to provide researchers within the field a new title that will expand their understanding of the burgeoning field of ultrasound in neurosurgery.
