Description

Sampson's Textbook of Radiopharmacy textbook provides specialised information on the use of radiopharmaceuticals in the detection and treatment of diseases and conditions.   The fourth edition of this well-established book has been completely revised and updated to reflect developments in the science and practice of radiopharmacy. It is divided into six sections:

  • physics applied to radiopharmacy
  • medicinal radio-elements
  • radiopharmacology and radiopharmacokinetics
  • radiopharmaceutics: formulation, preparation and quality assurance
  • radiopharmacy practice
  • new techniques for design and testing of radiopharmaceuticals.

Sampson's Textbook of Radiopharmacy is supported by the UK Radiopharmacy Group and includes contributions from experts worldwide. It is the only up-to-date reference that covers the regulation of radiopharmacy practice in the UK, the USA and Europe.

This book is essential reading for advanced students specialising in radiopharmacy.  It is also a lifelong reference for radiopharmacists practising in PET (Positron Emission Tomography) centres, nuclear medicine centres and radiopharmacies, as well as those working in research or the pharmaceutical industry.
