Fundamentals of Nuclear Pharmacy

This is the standard text/reference of nuclear pharmacy, thoroughly updated and judiciously expanded. Previous editions were unanimously praised for their clarity and accuracy, as Dr. Saha set new standards for making complex theoretical concepts readily understandable for students and practitioners in nuclear pharmacy and nuclear medicine. New features of this third edition include: - an entire chapter devoted to instruments used for radiation detection and measurement; - an upgraded section on iodination and 99mTc-labeling; - a section on disposal of radioactive materials; - clinical uses of all new and existing radiopharmaceuticals; - all new 99mTc and 123l-labeled radiopharmaceuticals, as well as radiolabled leukocytes, platelets, and antibodies; - up-to-date descriptions of the latest NRC and FDA regulations; - expanded review questions; - several appendices covering abbreviations, terms, units and constants, and more.
