Designed to provide those engaged in modern medical imaging with a coherent perspective of the entire discipline so that one protocol is no longer an isolated or independent mode of imaging from others, to wit: single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Introduces biomagnetic imaging as a third new modality.

The present text is about the major radionuclides of concern including Cs-137, Sr-90, H-3 and Natural Uranium which are of concern in relation to their potential hazard, similar chemistry to the essential elements and geo-availability. The book discusses their distribution in different environmental matrices, their transfer to the plants and further in the food chain. It also encapsulates the globally reported concentrations in relation to environmental matrices.
