Radiopharmaceuticals have one of two general functions (1) they may be used to detect or image biological problems such as tumors and (2) they may be used to treat an illness. Which type of radiation (a, p, or y) would be the most suitable for (a) detection and (b) therapy Justify your selections, (c) From standard literature sources, find at least two radionuclides that have been used for imaging body tissues, (d) What are the half-lives of these radionuclides ... 

A wide variety of reference materials is now available, covering several different kinds of natural matrix such as food (e.g. milk powder), human tissues (e.g. liver), marine biological materials (e.g. tuna fish) and soils and sediments. The radionuclides of interest cover naturally occurring ones (e.g. Ra), fission products... 

The complex interactions amongst geological, biological, and geochemical processes at the land-sea margin control the delivery and fate of radionuclides, contaminants, and other natural elements in coastal environments (Swarzenski et al. 2003). For many such constituents, there is at least a fundamental understanding of major source and sink functions and their potential estuarine transformation reactions. For example, rivers can be monitored quite easily for discharge rates into estuaries as well as for elemental...

From the biological data obtained by using cerium radionuclides and a comparative study with other members of the lanthanide family, the following biological parameters were selected and used in calculating q, (MPC)a, and (MPC)W values for cerium (ICRP, 1959) fi = (the fraction of ingested radionuclide reaching the blood) 0.0001...

In the schematic representation shown in Fig. 4, the radionuclide core is supported by a bifunctional chelating ligand or encapsulating unit, which may be intrinsically fluorescent and decorated with one (or more) biologically active molecules that can bind to specific receptor sites in vivo. Such examples...
