Synopsis
This book begins with the basic scientific principles of radiation physics, generator systems and preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. It deals with methods of localization of radiopharmaceuticals such as lung deposition, ion exchange, membrane transportation, phagocytosis and pinocytosis. The important role of radiolabelling blood components is reviewed. The latest information on factors affecting biodistribution, adverse and unusual reactions, the integrity of radiopharmaceuticals and dosimetry is also included. There is also a section on new radiopharmaceuticals. The final chapter on paediatric radiopharmacy deals with the preparation of doses for children, methods of calculating doses, and documentation.

Synopsis
This book begins with the basic scientific principles of radiation physics, generator systems and preparation of radiopharmaceuticals. It deals with methods of localization of radiopharmaceuticals for example lung deposition, with ion exchange, membrane transportation, phagocytosis and pinocytosis. There are chapters on dispensing, operator safety, quality control and the methodology of quality testing, documentation, labelling, packaging and transport, the design of laboratories and microbial and radiation monmitoring equipment. The important role of radiolabelling blood components is reviewed. Up-to-date information on factors affecting biodistribution, adverse and unusual reactions and the integrity of radiopharmaceuticals and dosimetry is included. There is also a section on new radiopharmaceuticals, and the final chapter on pediatric radiopharmacy deals with the preparation and doses for children, methods for calculating doses and documentation.
