radiofarmaseuttisia
Radiofarmaseuttisia, often referred to as radiopharmaceuticals, are radioactive drugs used in medical imaging and therapy. They consist of a radioactive isotope (radionuclide) attached to a biologically active molecule. This molecule is designed to accumulate in specific organs, tissues, or cells, delivering the radiation to the target area. The emitted radiation is then detected by specialized cameras, such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography) or SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) scanners, to create images of the body's internal structures and functions.
In diagnostic procedures, radiopharmaceuticals allow physicians to visualize physiological processes at a molecular level, aiding in
Beyond diagnostics, certain radiopharmaceuticals are employed in radionuclide therapy. In these treatments, the radioactive component is
