Abstract:
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty which uses radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and treatment. Radiopharmaceuticals are targeted compounds that have radionuclide for obtaining the images of the location of diagnosis and treatment. Using tools like gamma cameras, it is possible to objectively detect, measure and picture the ionizing radiations that come along with the radioactivity that has been injected. Nuclear medicine is used in diagnosis and therapy and has grown from simple in vitro test to advanced methods for imaging organ function. These include gamma cameras, SPECT and PET scanners, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanners. This chapter is focused on the history, diagnostic and clinical applications of nuclear medicine and design of radiopharmaceuticals.
