Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography, Volume 1

This book is part of a series dedicated to providing reliable methods for radiochemical reactions, including all essential information to duplicate procedures. This first volume provides established, reliable synthetic methods for a large number of routinely-prepared positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceuticals, commonly used in imaging for tumor studies, cardiology, and neuroscience. By giving researchers in the field necessary experimental details, the book eliminates the time-consuming process of searching journal articles and extracting pertinent details from lengthy experimental sections or supporting information.
