In Vivo Radionuclide Generators for Diagnostics and Therapy

In Vivo Radionuclide Generators for Diagnostics and Therapy

In vivo radionuclide generators make complex combinations of physical and chemical properties available for medical diagnostics and therapy. Perhaps the best-known in vivo generator is 212Pb/212Bi, which takes advantage of the extended half-life of 212Pb to execute a targeted delivery of the therapeutic short-lived α-emitter 212Bi. Often, as in the case of 81Rb/81Kr, chemical changes resulting ...

Development of Novel Radionuclide Generators for Use in Nuclear Medicine

Introduction Over the last 5 decades, radionuclide generators have attracted substantial attention, indeed close scrutiny of the nuclear medicine community owing to their ability to provide short-lived radioisotopes without the need for on-site nuclear reactor or cyclotron facilities for preparation of a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals [1]. The radionuclide gener...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

Developmental trends in targeted radionuclide therapy of neuroendocrine tumors

  Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms including carcinoids, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, pituitary tumors, medullary thyroid carcinoma and phaeochromocytomas. The symptoms and the outcome of NETs differ considerably between patients depending on several factors. By labelling tracers with a radioisotope, the tracer acts as a ...
