Product Description

Radioactive drug development is a multi-disciplinary task, therefore, in a concerted effort, dedicated scientists and experts from different fields of specialisation have contributed to this book. It is presented in two sections. Section 1 contains basic principles and methods used for analysis, information on the chemistry of technetium and on radiopharmaceuticals labelled with technetium-99m, the characteristics of the 99 Mo/99mTc-generator, of ‘kits’ and formulations for in-vitro labelling, and special safety aspects for in-vivo labelling of blood cells. Section 2 contains monographs of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine. Each monograph includes information on the chemistry, formulation, commercial products and trade names, factors affecting in-vivo performance, clinical information on pharmacokinetics, as well as details concerning the clinical application and the radiation dose to patients.

Nuclear Medicine Physics: The Basics

Product Description
“Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1991″ features a state-of-the-art review of the applications of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies in diagnosing benign disorders such as acute myocardial infarction and venous thrombosis. Also included is a report on technetium-99m MAG-3, a multipurpose renal imaging agent that will replace radiohippuran in routine clinical work. Two articles on functional brain imaging with SPECT discuss the available radiopharmaceuticals and describe the quantitative approaches that may be used with SPECT brain scans. Other topics covered include radionuclide bone imaging in Paget’s disease, the role of nuclear medicine in congenital renal disease, thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging, thallium-201 in nuclear oncology, and the role of gallium-67 in evaluating lymphoma treatment.

Nuclear Medicine Annual, 1991

Product Description
An excellent reference for both students and practitioners of nuclear medicine, this text presents a thorough discussion of normal and abnormal physiology of organ function through the use of scintigraphy. The chapters address all standard pediatric nuclear medicine studies as well as the less-common but important assessment of mandibular growth and symmetry and dacryoscintigraphy. New to the second edition are chapters on SPECT; radiation absorbed doses; radiation risk; sedation in pediatric nuclear medicine; magnification; Legg-Calve-Perthes disease; tumor imaging; growth centers; and infection and inflammation. Plus, discussions of SPECT have been thoroughly integrated into the chapters on brain, heart, lung, bone, kidney, and oncological scintigraphy.

Current Directions in Radiopharmaceutical Research and Development

Product Description
This impressive dictionary/handbook presents the nomenclature characteristic of nuclear medicine, explaining the meaning and current usage of a large variety of terms. It is designed as a ready-to-use and simple guide, arranged in alphabetical order with additional basic information assembled in the appendices. The single volume offers a look into the multidisciplinary world of this specialty. The field of nuclear medicine has emerged as an integrated medical discipline. It is an example of the convergence of many scientific disciplines with those of medicine emphasizing the use of radionuclides in research, diagnosis and therapy. The dictionary/handbook will be of importance to individuals in nuclear medicine and the following fields: physics, instrumentation, techniques, computers, radiopharmacology and radiopharmacy, radioimmunoassay, radiobiology and radiation protection, quality control, math and statistics, nuclear science and technology, radiology, ultrasound, and nuclear magnetic resonance.

Dictionary and Handbook of Nuclear Medicine and Clinical Imaging

Product Description
Nuclear medicine embraces both imaging techniques and the therapeutic use of radiopharmaceuticals. It has useful applications across the whole range of clinical medicine. The British Nuclear Medicine Society is producing a short series of illustrated books for the clinician discussing the application of nuclear medicine in various specialties. They have been purposely designed as handbooks and contain many tables and diagrams. Discussion of case material is included wherever relevant. The books should act as a guide to clinicians interested in the radioactive tracer method in their own speciality or in clincial practices. This title in the series is written for the neurologist and the radiologist in training.
