Radiotheranostics A Primer for Medical Physicists I Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Clinical Applications 1st Edition By Cari Borrás, Michael G. Stabin
Radiotheranostics - A Primer for Medical Physicists I: Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Clinical Applications, 1st Edition, edited by Cari Borrás and Michael G. Stabin, isa foundational textbook published by CRC Press (Taylor & Francis Group) around 2024/2025, providing a comprehensive introduction to radiotheranostics, covering the underlying science, clinical applications, physics, chemistry, and biology, serving as an essential guide for medical physicists and those entering the field, with a detailed breakdown of the topic from basic concepts to advanced aspects like radionuclide production and team training.
Key Aspects of the Book
- Content: Covers physics of production, radioactivity measurement, quantitative imaging, clinical trials, adverse effects, and the development of multidisciplinary teams.
- Target Audience: Medical and health physicists with existing nuclear medicine knowledge, as well as students and trainees.
- Structure: Part of a two-volume series, with this first volume laying the groundwork for the second volume's advanced dosimetric and safety discussions.
- Publisher: CRC Press/Taylor & Francis Group.
Scope: It defines radiotheranostics, traces the history of radionuclide therapy, and explores cancer biology, focusing on both unconjugated radionuclides (like
131to the 131st power131I) and targeted conjugates (peptides, antibodies).
