Through Michael Ljungberg

This cutting-edge handbook , the third and last in a series that offers medical physicists a thorough introduction into the subject of nuclear medicine , emphasizes the development and usage of radiopharmaceuticals . Along with this , the book also discusses some of the primary clinical applications for which radiopharmaceuticals may be utilized , as well as the chemical make-up of these molecules .

Three chapters in this book are devoted to detailed descriptions of common radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals used during diagnostic studies using planar/Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging , as well as during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging and , finally , during radiotherapy . This book begins with an introduction to the field of radiopharmacy . Following these chapters are those that describe the steps involved in quality control and manufacture (good manufacturing) .
