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... 

Most water systems are required to monitor for radioactivity and certain radionuclides, and to meet maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for these contaminants, to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Currently, USEPA requires drinking water to meet MCLs for beta/photon emitters (includes gamma radiation), alpha particles, combined radium 226/228, and uranium. However, this monitoring is required only at entry points into the system. In addition, after the initial sampling requirements, only one sample is required every three to nine years, depending on the contaminant type and the initial concentrations. 

On the other hand, Bersis and Vassiliou [5] have attempted to use gallic acid as an ozone acceptor and rhodamine-B as a photon emitter that remains unchanged during the measurement. They used an ethanol solution containing gallic acid and rhodamine-B as reactive reagents, which meant that this method could not be applied to a solid sensor. 

Photon exitance (Mp) The photon flow, (Dp, emitted by an element of the surface containing the source point under consideration divided by the area (S) of that element. (dconstant over the surface area considered). The SI unit is s mT. Alternatively, the term can be used with the amount of photons (mol or its equivalent einstein), the SI unit then being mol s uT. Also called specific photon emission. Formerly called photon emittance. 

Nitride-based quantum dots (QDs) have attracted much interest because of their potential uses for fabrication optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes, solid-state lasers, single-photon emitters and infrared detectors. 

The levels of radionuclides are regulated. These include certain alpha emitters, beta/photon emitters, combined radium 226/228 and radon gas.

The radioactive isotope rubidium 82—another photon emitter—is also finding a useful niche in diagnostic medicine. As the tracer in PET (positron emission tomography) scans, rubidium is cheaper than the more commonly used ammonia, which must be produced in a particle accelerator. Combined with a CTscan that helps visualize blood flow, this method is currently the most accurate when imaging blood flow restrictions that may lead to cardiac arrest.

Accessibility of single spins for a manipulation even at room temperature, coherent control and read-out, demonstrated by the investigations of the N-V colour centers, together with the proposals of application of these centers for room temperature single-photon emitters [17], quantum cryptography [18], quantum memory and quantum repeaters [19], puts the diamond-based systems on much more higher level in quantum information race . 

Much more practical single-photon emitter is the nickel-related NE8 center in diamond, consisting of a Ni atom in the position of divacancy surrounded by four substituting N atoms in its first coordination shell [4].

A novel gallium(III) complex of the selected Schiff-base ligand (Ga-[3-ethoxy-ENBDMPI]) was synthesized and evaluated as a potential probe to assess Pgp activity. This compound is a non-metabolized cationic hydrophobic complex that can be labeled either with the single-photon emitter Ga (ti/2 = 78 h) or with the positron emitter Ga (ti/2 = 68 min) thus having potential applications in both SPECT and PET for the functional imaging of Pgp. 

Radionuclides can also be used to irradiate tissues directly for specific purposes, such as cancer treatments. External radiation fields can be generated by using photon emitters such as °Co or through an accelerator that generates photons from electrical energy without the need... 

Abstract Cyclotron products are gaining in significance in diagnostic investigations via PET and SPECT, as well as in some therapeutic studies. The scientific and technological background of radionuclide production using a cyclotron is briefly discussed. Production methods of the commonly used positron and photon emitters are described and developments in the production of some new positron emitters and therapeutic radionuclides outlined. Some perspectives of cyclotron production of medical radionuclides are considered. 

This chapter deals with the production of medically interesting radionuchdes using a cyclotron (or an accelerator). Some of the basic aspects of production of radionuchdes are discussed in Sect. 39.2, while the details on the production of specific groups of radionuclides (positron emitters, photon emitters, therapy related radionuchdes) are given in Sects. 39.3—39.5. Finally, some perspectives for further use of cyclotrons for production of radionuchdes are discussed.
