The proposed model describes in a quality way the process of tumor-imaging radiopharmaceutical 99mTc-MIBI distribution with taking into account radiopharmaceutical accumulation, elimination, and radioactive decay. The dependencies of concentration versus the time are analyzed. The model can be easily tested by the concentration data of the radioactive pharmaceuticals in the blood measured at ea...

Introduction: Nuclear Scintigraphy is a highly sensitive, alternative imaging modality used in human and veterinary medicine. This modality involves the administration of a radioactive substance (radioisotope) to a patient. Generally, the radioisotope is labeled to a specific compound. This labeled combination is known as a radiopharmaceutical. These radiopharmaceuticals are formulated in vario...

The off-label use of bevacizumab labeled with 99mTc as a new radiopharmaceutical for imaging of endometriosis is a promising noninvasive, new clinical procedure. The bevacizumab in monoclonal antibodies targeted at vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is superexpressed in cases of endometriosis. In this study we evaluate the imaging of endometriosis lesion in rats (induced to endometriosis...

Introduction In 2016, our center adopted technology to routinely monitor 18 F-FDG radiopharmaceutical administrations. Within six months of following basic quality improvement methodology, technologists reduced extravasation rates from 13.3% 2.9% ( p < 0.0001). These same administer other radiopharmaceuticals (without monitoring technology) for general nuclear medicine procedures in a se...

A Radiopharmaceutical is a radioactive compound used for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases. Radiopharmaceuticals are among the most highly regulated materials administered to patients because they are controlled both as drugs and as radioactive substances. The use of radiopharmaceuticals for any purpose is governed by regulatory agencies in different countries all over the wor...

After observing an increased incidence of imprecise and sometimes erroneous use of nuclear chemistry, radiochemistry, and radiopharmacy related terms and nomenclature in scientific reports, an international working group of experts was assembled to address the issue. Upon extensive consultation with peers within the field of radiochemistry and radiopharmaceutical sciences over a 3-year period a...
