| Contents |
Radiotracers and drug registration -- Radioactivity and radiotracers -- The study of drug metabolism using radiotracers -- DNA binding, isotope dilution and other uses of radiotracers -- Quantitative whole-body autoradiography (QWBA) -- Scintillation counting -- Statistics in liquid scintillation counting -- Instrumentation for detection of radioactivity -- Sample preparation for liquid scintillation counting -- Biomedical accelerator mass spectrometry -- Positron emission tomography -- Gamma scintigraphy and SPECT |
| Summary |
This book presents up-to-date information on the theory and practice of new technologies. It presents classical radioactive measurement methods and principles of radioactive decay as a foundation for understanding the latest advances. Taking an industrial approach, it explores radiotracer techniques in ADME studies, accelerator mass spectrometry equipment, radioluminography, positron emission tomography, and gamma-scintigraphy. It features examples and illustrations on how collected data is used in drug research. Aimed at researchers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and animal health indus |
