Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography

The ultimate reference guide to the synthesis ofradiopharmaceuticals The Radiochemical Syntheses series provides scientistsand professionals with a comprehensive reference to provensynthetic methods for radiochemical reactions, along withstep-by-step guidance on how to replicate these syntheses in thelaboratory. Volume 1 in the series focuses on the synthesis and purificationof radiopharmaceuticals in clinical use today. It brings togetherin one complete, self-contained volume a collection of monographscontaining a wealth of practical information from across theliterature, demonstrating in meticulous detail how to prepareradiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET)imaging, especially in tumor studies, cardiology, andneuroscience. Readers have key experimental details culled from the literatureat their fingertips, greatly simplifying the process of qualifyinga site for the clinical production of new radiopharmaceuticals.
