Automated Technologies for the Development and Production of Radiopharmaceuticals

This is the first comprehensive book about the advanced technologies used in the radiopharmaceutical field. It covers each major area of radiopharmaceutical production, including radioisotope production and separation, synthesis of radiopharmaceuticals, analysis and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals, and technologies for radiopharmaceutical development. Chapters are written by leaders in the field and comprehensively describe the evolution of relevant technologies, the current state-of-the-art, and the future directions. The book will be an invaluable tool for researchers in radiochemistry, radiopharmaceutical development, and disease researchers, as well as pharmaceutical researchers developing new drugs using radiopharmaceutical imaging techniques in the drug development process.
