Short Description
This book is part of a series dedicated to providing reliable methods for radiochemical reactions, including all essential information to duplicate procedures. As a first volume, it provides established, reliable synthetic methods for a large number of routinely-prepared positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, commonly used in imaging for tumor studies, cardiology, and neuroscience. By giving researchers in the field necessary experimental details, the book eliminates the time-consuming process of searching journal articles and extracting pertinent details from lengthy experimental sections or supporting information.
The ultimate reference guide to the synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals
The Radiochemical Syntheses series provides scientists and professionals with a comprehensive reference to proven synthetic methods for radiochemical reactions, along with step-by-step guidance on how to replicate these syntheses in the laboratory.
Volume 1 in the series focuses on the synthesis and purification of radiopharmaceuticals in clinical use today. It brings together in one complete, self-contained volume a collection of monographs containing a wealth of practical information from across the literature, demonstrating in meticulous detail how to prepare radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, especially in tumor studies, cardiology, and neuroscience.
Readers have key experimental details culled from the literature at their fingertips, greatly simplifying the process of qualifying a site for the clinical production of new radiopharmaceuticals.
