Recenzje

From the reviews:

"It is designed to develop readers' test-taking confidence, test their knowledge of nuclear medicine, and provide resources for further study. ... this is a fun book to have in any nuclear medicine department for a little midday trivia and is an excellent investment for the student preparing for board examinations." (Jeanne Dial, Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Vol. 40 (1), March, 2012)

"This book covers the current material technologists need to review for the board exams. ... authors wrote this for nuclear medicine technologists preparing to take the boards, but I also can see experienced technologists using this as a resource for review purposes. The authors are practicing nuclear medicine technologists. ... This is an excellent resource for those preparing to take the board exams or experienced technologists looking for a review." (Ann Marie Voslar, Doody's Review Service, September, 2011)
