After taking the NM boards, I realized that this book was absolutely useless. Cherry and Phelps' has all the physics you need.

Short, Concise and comprehensive by M. H. Al-shaer (TX, USA)

I would say it again short concise and comprehensive Very useful to study for the nuclear cardiology boards

A nice and useful book

The book reviews the basic prerequisites for physicians interested in nuclear medicine. It is not complete and the image acquisition and processing part for SPECT imaging is sparse, but it's a very nice little book. I used it to prepare for the nuclear cardiology board certification exam and I found it very useful, although it is geared more towards general nuclear medicine. The book is clear and concise and the questions at the end of each chapter are extremly helpful.
