This book has been divided in three parts. The first part includes topics in basic statistics, counting statistics and statistics as used in imaging. Relevant topics on mathematical techniques such as Fourier transform, Image reconstruction, Image filtering, Correction for attenuation and scatter, Tracer kinetics, Convolution and deconvolution, Methods of background subtraction, Volume estimation in nuclear cardiology, Physics of PET and quantification in SPECt and PET are included in the second part of the proceeding. Third part covers radiation safety in nuclear medicine.
