Book description
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.
Peter J. H. Scott is an Assistant Professor in the
Department of Radiology at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Dr. Scott edited Linker Strategies in Solid-phase Organic
Synthesis (also from Wiley) and is the series editor for the Wiley
Series on Solid Phase Organic Syntheses.
Brian G. Hockley is Radiopharmaceutical Quality Manager at the
University of Michigan Medical School, where he works with Michael
Kilbourn on radiopharmaceutical research and development. Mr. Hockley
has co-authored several articles and a chapter in Linker Strategies
in Solid-phase Organic Synthesis (also from Wiley).
