Nuclear Medicine Equations/Math Guide

This 18-page guide contains the information you will need in order to learn, understand, calculate and answer the equation questions you will come across while taking the Nuclear Medicine Board Exam (NMTCB or ARRT). It covers in detail, with examples for each, the following: scientific notation, numeric prefixes, fractions & percentages, inverse square law, dilution principle, exponent laws & logarithms, radioactive decay, decay factor for radioactive decay, concentration volume calculations, half-life: biological/physical/effective, attenuation of radiation, photon attenuation, mean & standard deviation, coefficient of variation, poisson distribution & counting statistics, chi-squared; etc. and all Clinical Procedures including: left ventricle ejection fraction, cardiac output & stroke volume, gallbladder ejection fraction, gastroesophageal reflux, gastric emptying half-time, lung quantitation, thyroid uptake, & concentration of a solution. (This guide is a companion to the book: Steves' Review Of Nuclear Medicine Technology, 5th Edition).
