Diagnostic radionuclides

Nuclear properties of some gamma and positron emitting diagnostic radionuclides (ICRP 1983)... [Pg.2145]

Metals continue to play an important role in radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in nuclear medicine. Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain a radionuclide and are used for imaging if the radionuclide is a photon emitter (gamma (7) or positron (/3+)) or for... [Pg.883]

The major driving force for the development of technetium coordination chemistry has undoubtedly been the potential applications in diagnostic nuclear medicine. The primary requirements for a radionuclide to be used in imaging are that the radiation emitted must be of appropriate energy, the decay half-life must lie in a suitable time window, it must be relatively cheap and readily available in the radiopharmacy, and finally it must have highly flexible co-ordination chemistry. [Pg.245]

Radiophannaceuticals are almost ideal diagnostic tools because radioisotope tracers do not alter body physiology, and they permit external monitoring with minimal instrumentation. Presently, there are three major areas of nuclear medicine (1) physiological function studies, (2) radionuclide imaging procedures, and (3) therapeutic techniques. [Pg.1412]

Tmm is the most widely used radionuclide for diagnostic purposes. It is used in 10 million procedures per year in the United States and 20 million/per year worldwide. As discussed previously, its single 142.7-keV photon is ideal for imaging, and its 6-h half-life will accommodate most procedures with excessive radiation dose to... [Pg.117]

Coordination compounds have the potential to be used in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications, but only the former have been extensively developed so far. This reflects the differing nature of the two types of application. In diagnosis it is only necessary to detect the location of the radionuclide in the body. Since extremely sensitive devices are available for the detection of ionizing radiation, useful diagnostic information may be obtained with relatively low patient... [Pg.963]
