Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will acquaint the interested physician or physicist with the fundamental principles and the instrumentation relevant to analytical techniques based on atomic and nuclear physics, as well as present and future biomedical applications. Besides providing a theoretical description of the physical phenomena, a large part of the book is devoted to applications in the medical and biological field, particularly in haematology, forensic medicine and environmental science. Analysis of the elemental composition of human tissues and cells and in particular trace elements has attracted increasing interest over the last few years, due to the increase in knowledge on the role of some elements and the possible correlations between abnormal concentrations of one or more trace elements and pathological conditions. This has stimulated the development of analytical techniques which allow the detection of trace elements simultaneously and at very low concentrations. Particularly in methods involving nuclear principles or nuclear apparatus, many techniques have been largely and successfully developed in recent years and applied in the medical field. This volume reviews methods such as the possibility of carrying out rapid multi-element analysis of trace elements on biomedical samples, in vitro and in vivo, by XRF-analysis; the ability of the PIXE-microprobe to analyze in detail and to map trace elements in fragments of biomedical samples or inside the cells; the potentiality of in vivo nuclear activation analysis for diagnostic purposes. Finally, techniques are described such as radiation scattering (elastic and inelastic scattering) and attenuation measurements which will undoubtedly see great development in the immediate future.

Book excerpt: The IAEA has compiled this overview of current applications of nuclear analytical techniques (NATs). The contributions included in this book describe a variety of nuclear techniques and applications, such as those in the fields of environment and health, industrial processes, non-destructive testing, forensic and archaeological investigations, cosmochemistry and method validation. The techniques covered range from classical instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA), its radiochemical derivative RNAA, in-beam methods such as prompt y neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), to X ray fluorescence (XRF) and proton induced X ray emission (PIXE) spectroscopy. Isotopic techniques to investigate element behaviour in biology and medicine, and also to validate other non-nuclear analytical techniques, are described. Destructive and non-destructiveapproaches are presented, along with their use to investigate very small and very large samples, archaeological samples and extraterrestrial samples. Several nuclear analytical applications in industry are described that have considerable socioeconomic impact wherever they can be implemented.

Download or read book Quantitative Analysis in Nuclear Medicine Imaging written by Habib Zaidi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of image analysis techniques as they are applied in the field of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine. Driven in part by the remarkable sophistication of nuclear medicine instrumentation and - crease in computing power and its ready and inexpensive availability, this is a relatively new yet rapidly expanding field. Likewise, although the use of nuclear imaging for diagnosis and therapy has origins dating back almost to the pioneering work of Dr G. de Hevesy, quantitative imaging has only recently emerged as a promising approach for diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. An effort has, therefore, been made to place the reviews provided in this book in a broader context. The effort to do this is reflected by the inclusion of introductory chapters that address basic principles of nuclear medicine instrumentation and dual-modality imaging, followed by overview of issues that are closely related to quantitative nuclear imaging and its potential role in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A brief overview of each chapter is provided below. Chapter 1 presents a general overview of nuclear medicine imaging physics and instrumentation including planar scintigraphy, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). Nowadays, patients’ diagnosis and therapy is rarely done without the use of imaging technology. As such, imaging considerations are incorporated in almost every chapter of the book. The development of dual-modality - aging systems is an emerging research field, which is addressed in chapter 2.

Download or read book Proficiency Testing in Applications of the Ionizing Radiation and Nuclear Analytical Techniques in Industry Medicine and Environment written by Emanuela Cincu and published by AIP Conference Proceedings / H. This book was released on 2008-09-05 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Workshop on ‘Nuclear Proficiency Testing’ (PT) focused on the new topic appeared at the junction of the nuclear basic research, metrology, quality control in applications, and the new ‘Science of Analytical Performance’ (SAP), namely: ‘how to get/prove the most accurate and precise scientific/technical results in the current practice. Any analytical laboratory should fulfill this goal in order to assure the public credibility of its results, either it is part of the scientific research institute, or a laboratory dedicated to the routine control of the environment, industry, health /medicine, radioprotection, or dosimetry, as the quality of the analytical results and of the services that will be further used depend critically on the accuracy and validity of measurements (EN ISO/IEC Standard 17025: 2005). ‘Proficiency Testing’ plays a central role in this process as the best tool to prove and certify the Laboratory’s Performance & Competence; it belongs to SAP, which, in our case, should be called SNAP (Science of the Nuclear Analytical Performance), as it concerns performance in applications of the nuclear analytical techniques. The ‘PT Workshop-2007’ created the opportunity to learn the criteria / tools used for interpreting the experimental results and evaluating performance, ‘how to fit’ the laboratory’s performance with the rigor of international ‘Proficiency Testing’ evaluation, to understand the basic aspects of methods validation and traceability of the nuclear physical quantities to SI, use of the reference materials and of the statistic criteria for the fitness-for-purpose objectives, advantages of the ILC /PT exercises, and how to get the ‘Excellence’; so, it was primarily a ‘school’ , but not only, because the meeting was also a framework for participants to present their latest results and developments. The unique feature of the ‘PT Workshop-2007’ was the participation –for the first time in a scientific meeting of experts intimately involved in the development of International and National Standards and the organization of international Inter-Laboratory Comparison (ILC) and Proficiency Testing (PT) exercises, of experts involved in radionuclide metrology, who generally establish the norms and requirements for the accuracy of measurements and analytical methods, and experts and specialists involved in nuclear application, as ‘lectors’. Their presence and lessons assured the highest level of knowledge for a successful ‘school’ in the field of Nuclear Proficiency Testing, and the discussions they created were very fruitful, to the benefit of all the participants.

Download or read book Analytical and Chromatographic Techniques in Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry written by Donald M. Wieland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1906, Michael T. Sweet first developed the chromatographic method by using an adsorbant to separate pigments. Since that time, the technological advances in TLC and HPLC have brought about new definitions of purity in parallel with the advances. Radiopharmaceutical chemistry is especially dependent on the chromat ographic technique because of the relatively small amount of material in most radiopharmaceuticals-often so small that the usual physical methods of analytical chemistry cannot be used. As a result, this collection of papers represents the key to successful radiopharmaceutical development by setting the standard for the pres of radiochemical purity. ent-day definition William C. Eckelman, Ph.D. Diagnostics Associate Director The Squibb Institute for Medical Research New Brunswick, New Jersey Preface The chapters herein are updated and expanded versions of presentations that the authors made at a symposium held on June 4, 1984 in Los Angeles, California under the sponsorship of the Radiopharmaceutical Science Council of the Society of Nuclear Medicine. All manuscripts were refereed. The intent of the symposium organizers was to enlist participants who work on a day-to-day basis with the analytical and chromatographic techniques to be discussed at the symposium. We feel confident that this distillation of hands-on experience will be of value to graduate students as well as experienced researchers in radio pharmaceutical chemistry and related fields which use radiotracer methodology.
