Scientific and professional organisation SNM has announced a new publication - A Patient's Guide to Nuclear Medicine Procedures: English-Spanish. Written by Juan C. Más, RT (R,N,CT), CNMT, the new book is projected as an essential resource for physicians, patients and technologists.
Available in both English and Spanish, the book explains in simple terms what nuclear medicine is and what the patient can expect prior to and during the more than 30 specific nuclear imaging procedures. In its flip-chart format, the book can easily be set up in doctor's offices, patient reception areas, labs, and imaging rooms. Patients can read along in Spanish as medical personnel read from the opposite side. The guide also comes in a handy pocket-sized format that can fit into a shirt or lab coat pocket and be used for easy reference, such as at a patient's bedside. Chapters such as 'Bone Scan,' 'Myocardial Perfusion Study,' and 'PET and PET/CT' are tabbed in the flip-chart format for easy access.
While the flip-chart formatted guide is priced at $65 for SNM members and $99 for nonmembers, the pocket-sized edition is $15 for SNM members and $19 for nonmembers. The two can be purchased together for $107.
