Doody's Review
"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."
-- Rahmat Talukder, PhD, RPh (The University of Texas at Tyler)Doody's Review
"This is the most comprehensive book on basic radioactive principles, nuclear pharmacy practice activities, diagnostic and therapeutic drug preparation and utilization, radiation safety, and nuclear regulations for nuclear pharmacists in the United States. It is an excellent teaching textbook for students and a valuable reference for practitioners."
