|
This is the classic text/reference of nuclear pharmacy, thoroughly updated and judiciously expanded. Generously supplemented with charts, tables, and more than 100 illustrations throughout, each chapter provides the reader with well-delineated descriptions, from the basic autonomic structure through the clinical uses of radiopharmaceuticals. 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 in the Fourth Edition include: - up-to-date descriptions of the latest NRC and FDA regulations - clinical uses of all new radiopharmaceuticals and techniques, including those radiopharmaceuticals having the potential for clinical use - quality control data for all new radiopharmaceuticals - dosimetry data for all new radiopharmaceuticals - an entire new chapter devoted to the therapeutic uses of radiopharmaceuticals - an upgraded section on 99mTc chemistry - addition to the 62Zn-62Cu generator in th chapter on "Radionuclide Generators" - latest developments in brain, heart, and tumor imaging - a new section on parathyroid imaging. A reference in nuclear pharmacy and as a textbook for nuclear medicine technologists. |
