This volume serves as a study guide and revision resource for postgraduate students preparing for examinations in nuclear medicine physics. The problems and solutions presented reflect the typical syllabi adopted by universities and training programmes worldwide. This invaluable study guide should be used in conjunction with other key textbooks in the field to provide additional learning opportunities. Since the publication of the first edition, nuclear medicine has continued to advance rapidly, with significant developments in hybrid imaging systems, detector technologies, image reconstruction algorithms, quantitative imaging, radionuclide therapy and dosimetry methodologies. In response to these developments, the second edition has been carefully reviewed and updated. Existing problems have been refined, solutions have been strengthened and expanded where appropriate, and selected content has been revised to better reflect current clinical practice and evolving standards. One hundred and forty-seven solved problems are presented across ten chapters covering core topics, including radioactivity and nuclear transformations, production and properties of radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals, radiation detectors and instrumentation, gamma camera imaging, SPECT and PET-CT imaging techniques, radionuclide therapy and theragnostics, internal radiation dosimetry, quality control and radiation protection in nuclear medicine. The problems are designed to illustrate and augment the underlying theory, while reinforcing fundamental principles to enhance learning and information retention. This book forms part of a four-volume set of medical physics problems and solutions. The companion volumes address diagnostic imaging physics, radiotherapy physics and radiation protection. Features: Consolidates concepts and assists in the understanding and applications of theoretical concepts in medical physics Suitable as a revision tool for postgraduate students sitting medical physics, radiation oncology, and radiology science examinations Each chapter provides examples, notes, and references for further reading to enhance understanding.

This book reports on the investigation of the public’s perception of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field (RF-EMF) radiation effects on health and well-being, in Malaysia. It elaborates on how understanding the impact of perceived risk is essential in order to investigate the explanatory value and effectiveness of interventions influencing these beliefs. The book expands on the knowledge and understanding of different risk perception related to radiation in order to explain the gap in literature regarding the relationship between risk perceptions that lead to public behaviors. In doing so, the book presents empirical findings of a national study that unveils two key factors affecting public risk perceptions: psycho-graphic and personal factors. It offers a more collective and cultural understanding of public perceptions on radiation risks via a systematic mixed-method research approach. Research in the book also show that while the radiation risk is recognizable and unavoidable, the relevant stakeholders should be more proactive and committed to communicate and rectify the perception of radiation. The book thus serves as a valuable source of reference to understand the debate and to invite more participatory dialogues on radiation risk perceptions among public.
