"This book provides a comprehensive overview of technology for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and their therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Written by experts in the field, this fourth edition also includes updated information on regulatory aspects related to the production and distribution of radiopharmaceuticals. There are several books in the marketplace related to the subject matter. The authors of this book, however, have taken a holistic approach to select and present the topics. This reference, therefore, is an invaluable source of information for students and professionals working in nuclear pharmacy and nuclear medicine specialties."
