Description:
Completely updated with the latest advances in imaging technology, this
quick-reference manual is the only procedures guide specifically geared
to nuclear medicine technologists. It provides detailed, easy-to-follow
instructions for 61 scan procedures, including listings of possible
artifacts and problems that may arise during each scan. An extensive
quick-reference section includes conversion tables, radiopharmaceutical
dose ranges, pediatric dosing, anatomical drawings, standard drug
interventions, lab tests, language translations, thyroid therapy
information, and reproducible patient history sheets for 20 scans.
