Kurzbeschreibung
This comprehensive reference provides an up-to-date introduction to the key issues relating to the production and application of radiopharmaceuticals. The book covers a wide range of radiochemistry and clinical applications including the production of various radionuclides, positron emission tomography (PET) and drug development. Discussions on the uses of radiopharmaceuticals in the diagnosis and therapy of cancer and other diseases are also included.
