Nuclear medicine embraces both imaging techniques and the therapeutic use of radiopharmaceuticals. It has useful applications across the whole range of clinical medicine. The British Nuclear Medicine Society is producing a short series of illustrated books for the clinician discussing the application of nuclear medicine in various specialties. They have been purposely designed as handbooks and contain many tables and diagrams. Discussion of case material is included wherever relevant. The books should act as a guide to clinicians interested in the radioactive tracer method in their own speciality or in clincial practices. This title in the series is written for the neurologist and the radiologist in training.
