DESCRIPTIONThis publication reviews the current state of the art of image quantification and provides a solid background of tools and methods to medical physicists and other related professionals who are faced with quantification of radionuclide distribution in clinical practice. It describes and analyses the physical effects that degrade image quality and affect the accuracy of quantification, and describes methods to compensate for them in planar, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) images.   http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/Pub1605_web.pdf      Link original: http://www-pub.iaea.org/books/IAEABooks/10380/Quantitative-Nuclear-Medicine-Imaging-Concepts-Requirements-and-Methods
