Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography - Methodological Aspects

Radiochemical methodology constitutes the most important base for the successful functioning of a PET group in the routine production and development of radiopharmaceuticals. Of the several hundred products which have been labelled with positron emitters during the past two decades about 35 are pres...
