FAQ
Is this book suitable for someone completely new to nuclear medicine?
While comprehensive, it's primarily designed as a *review* tool for residents, fellows, and practitioners preparing for exams. Basic foundational knowledge is helpful to get the most out of it.
Does the 4th edition include recent advancements like new PET tracers or therapies?
Yes, this 4th edition aims to be current and includes updates reflecting modern nuclear medicine practices, guidelines, and technologies relevant to board examinations.
Are the answers just the correct letter, or do they include explanations?
The book provides detailed explanations for the answers, helping you understand *why* an answer is correct or incorrect, which is crucial for effective learning and retention.
Is this single book enough to pass the boards?
