AB A  practical  review  of  basic  atomic  and  nuclear  physics  is  essential  to  understand  the  origins  of  radiations,  as  well  as  their  interactions  with  matter.  The  nature  and  type  of  emissions  are  determined  by  the  structural  character  of  the  atom  and  nucleus.  The  ways  in  which  radiation  interacts  with  matter  have  a  direct  relationship  with  imaging  and  radiation  safety.  The  types  of  radiation  and  how  they  interact  with  matter  are  the  foundation  of  radionuclide  imaging  and  radiation  safety.  This  chapter  will  focus  on  atomic  and  nuclear  structure  and  the  interaction  of  radiations  with  matter  as  they  relate  to  radionuclide  imaging.
