What Are Radiopharmaceuticals and How Are They Used?
Radiopharmaceuticals are compounds that contain radioactive isotopes used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. In diagnostics, these compounds are typically used in imaging techniques such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography). For treatment, radiopharmaceuticals can target and destroy cancerous cells or shrink tumors.
