Nuclear Pharmacy

Ga-67 citrate and Tc-99m or In-111-labeled leukocyte imaging are wellestablished procedures for diagnosing a variety of inflammatory and infectious conditions. Normally healing surgical incisions will concentrate:

Why Technetium-99m is the most commonly used medical radioisotope in nuclear medicine?

All of the following are examples of cyclotron-produced radionuclides EXCEPT:

F-18-labeled fluorometaraminol, F-18-labeled fluorodopamine, and C-11- labeled hydroxyephedrine are myocardial PET tracers used for imaging:

F-18 FDG, a radiopharmaceutical for measuring glucose metabolism consists of two components: cyclotron-produced fluorine-18 and a metabolically stable analog of glucose. What is chemical formula of this tracer?

The primary route of excretion of Tc-99m hexakis 2-metoxy isobutyl isonitrile (Sestamibi) is:

The size of the colloid particles is important in imaging the reticuloendothelial system. Particles smaller than 20 nm tend to accumulate in?

Technetium-labeled blood cells can be used in all of the following types of nuclear medicine scintigraphies EXCEPT:

The mechanism by which the epithelial cells of the thyroid concentrate iodide is termed?

Thin layer chromatography (TLC) results were measured in the dose calibrator for a Tc-99m mebrofenin kit. If 3 mCi of free Tc-99m and 55 mCi of Tc-99m mebrofenin were measured in the dose calibrator, what is the percentage of radiopharmaceutical purity?
