The Use of a Small, Desk Top Analogue Computer In Nuclear Medicine Education

Los Angeles

ABSTRACT

Applications of a simple, relatively inexpensixe analogue computer to a few hypothetical problems in nuclear medicine involving radioactive decay are discussed. The only prerequisite for using this device is a basic understanding of differential equations. Besides the solutions to specific problems, the student of nuclear medicine obtains a better, more sophisticated understanding of the dynamic, time dependent nature of radioactive material and its interaction with the biological organism.
