This state-of-the-art handbook, the third and final in a series
that provides medical physicists with a comprehensive overview into
the field of nuclear medicine, focuses on highlighting the
production and application of radiopharmaceuticals. With this, the
book also describes the chemical composition of these compounds, as
well as some of the main clinical applications where
radiopharmaceuticals may be used. Following an introduction to the
field of radiopharmacy, three chapters in this book are dedicated
towards in-depth descriptions of common radionuclides and
radiopharmaceuticals used during diagnostic studies utilizing
planar/Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) imaging,
in addition to during Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging,
and, finally, radiotherapy. These chapters are followed by those
describing procedures relating to quality control and manufacturing
(good manufacturing practices) also encompassing aspects such as
environmental compliance. Furthermore, this volume illustrates how
facilities handling these chemicals should be designed to comply
with set regulations. Like many pharmaceuticals, the development of
radiopharmaceuticals relies heavily on the use of mouse models.
Thus, the translation of radiopharmaceuticals (i.e., the process
undertaken to assure that the functionality and safety of a newly
developed drug is maintained also in a human context), is covered
in a later chapter. This is followed by a chapter emphasising the
importance of safe waste disposal and how to assure that these
procedures meet the requirements set for the disposal of hazardous
waste. Several chapters have also been dedicated towards describing
various medical procedures utilizing clinical nuclear medicine as a
tool for diagnostics and therapeutics. As physicists may be
involved in clinical trials, a chapter describing the procedures
and regulations associated with these types of studies is included.
This is followed by a chapter focusing on patient safety and
another on an imaging modality not based on ionizing radiation -
ultrasound. Finally, the last chapter of this book discusses future
perspectives of the field of nuclear medicine. This text will be an
invaluable resource for libraries, institutions, and clinical and
academic medical physicists searching for a complete account of
what defines nuclear medicine. The most comprehensive reference
available providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field of
nuclear medicine Edited by a leader in the field, with
contributions from a team of experienced medical physicists,
chemists, engineers, scientists, and clinical medical personnel
Includes the latest practical research in the field, in addition to
explaining fundamental theory and the field's history
