This document is meant to complement Part B of the EANM 'Guidelines on current good radiopharmacy practice (cGRPP) in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals' issued by the Radiopharmacy Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine, covering small-scale in-house preparation of radiopharmaceuticals with automated modules. The aim is to provide more detailed and practice-oriented gui...

© ( y c EJNMMI Radiopharmacy and Chemistry is a new journal within the EJNMMI family and is now ready to launch the first articles on-line. The aim of EJNMMI Radiopharmacy and Chemistry is to publish research in the field of new imaging and radionuclide based therapeutic agents that can be applied in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. This new journal provides an ideal platform for chemist...

UNLABELLED In response to U.S. Pharmacopeia general chapter <797> standards, a clean room was constructed for our in-house radiopharmacy. Previously, most patient doses were prepared as needed just before injection. Currently, to minimize repeated entries into the clean room, most patient doses are prepared in batches; that is, early morning and noontime preparation of doses to be injected at v...

This article presents Virtual Radiopharmacy Laboratory (VR LAB), a virtual laboratory accessible through the Internet. VR LAB is designed and implemented in the framework of the VirRAD European project. This laboratory represents a 3D simulation of a radio-pharmacy laboratory, where learners, represented by 3D avatars, can experiment on radiopharmacy equipment by carrying out specific learning ...

References .......................................................................... 27 Abstract The vast majority of PET radiopharmaceuticals today are cyclotron produced. Carbon-11 (C), Nitrogen-13 (N), Oxygen-15 (O) products are created for in-house use only due to their short half-lives. The longer half-life of Fluorine-18 means that F-labeled PET radiotracers can be widely distributed. Pr...

The renaissance of Ga radiopharmacy has led to great advances in automation technology. The availability of a highly efficient, reliable, long-lived Ge/Ga generator system along with a well-established coordination chemistry based on bifunctional chelating agents have been the bases of this development in Ga radiopharmacy. Syntheses of Ga peptides were originally performed by manual or semiauto...
