The book then presents the physicochemical and pharmacological properties of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with 99mTc, 201Tl, 18mKr, 18F and the radioisotopes 123I, 125I and 131I used in nuclear medicine. The production chains for the radiotracers studied, as well as their main emissions, are then described in detail, followed by a study of the clearance mechanisms of the radiopharmaceuticals under consideration. Finally, the book describes the principles of myocardial, pulmonary, bone, thyroid, renal and gastric emptying scans using the properties of the radiotracers studied, as well as the principles of prostate brachytherapy using iodine-125 implants and prostate chemotherapy. 4aNuclear & High Energy Physics 4aNuclear Energy 4aPhysics Special Topics00anuclear physics; radioisotopes; nuclear medicine imaging; nucleosynthesis processes; nuclear reactions; radiopharmaceuticals; radiotracers08iPrinted edition:z978178630993840uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9781394306381aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781394306381aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/319a3eb3-c2c5-4299-8c87-7a7dd7f04cc5/9781394306381.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
