Radiotheranostics - A Primer for Medical Physicists II: Radiochemistry, Radiobiology, Dosimetry, Safety, Economics, and AI (Series in Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering)

Radiotheranostics - A Primer for Medical Physicists II: Radiochemistry, Radiobiology, Dosimetry, Safety, Economics, and AI expands upon the radiotheranostic topics in cancer care covered in Volume I, which includes cancer biology, clinical applications, radionuclide production, source calibration, imaging instrumentation, and staff education, training, and competencies.Building on these foundational elements, Volume II offers an in-depth coverage of radiopharmaceutical preparation and radiolabeling strategies.It presents new insights into radiation biology, including studies on human and animal radiation embryology.The dosimetry section addresses alpha-, beta-, and Auger-emitting radionuclides and explores the therapeutic potential of positrons.It emphasizes biokinetic modeling, standardized and image-based dosimetry procedures, and the quantification of uncertainties in dose calculations.Essential safety topics are also thoroughly examined, including radiation shielding, facility desi
