Branch of pharmacy focused on radioactive pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceutical drug which emits radiation, used as a diagnostic or therapeutic agent
Nuclear pharmacy, also known as radiopharmacy, involves preparation of radioactive materials for patient administration that will be used to diagnose and treat specific diseases in nuclear medicine. It generally involves the practice of combining a radionuclide tracer with a pharmaceutical component that determines the biological localization in the patient.[1][2] Radiopharmaceuticals are generally not designed to have a therapeutic effect themselves, but there is a risk to staff from radiation exposure and to patients from possible contamination in production.[3] Due to these intersecting risks, nuclear pharmacy is a heavily regulated field.[4][5] The majority of diagnostic nuclear medicine investigations are performed using technetium-99m.[6]
