As functional imaging continues to inform everyday clinical practice, clinicians need to know more about the quantitative aspects of physiology and pathophysiology. Presented in accessible language, this book integrates the principles and mathematics of measurement with physiological systems to which the quantitative problems are applied. The book discusses the related basic mathematics, the measurement of blood flow, peripheral circulation and microvascular solute transfer, pharmacokinetics routinely used in nuclear medicine, as well as scinitillion detectors, data-processing and quantification. Measurement in the heart, lung, gastro-intestinal tract, liver, spleen, genitourinary tract and brain are discussed.
This text investigates the quantitative application of radionuclide-based physiological measurements to enhance clinical diagnostic accuracy and functional imaging interpretation. Authors A. M. Peters and M. J. Myers provide a comprehensive framework that bridges the gap between complex mathematical modeling and practical physiological assessment. By integrating core principles of nuclear medicine with specific organ-system pathophysiology, the authors establish a methodology for clinicians to derive precise quantitative data from functional imaging studies.

Scope Limits
Experts recognize this work as a technical resource for practitioners seeking to move beyond qualitative imaging toward rigorous quantitative analysis. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which serves as a specialized reference for those already working within the field of nuclear medicine.
