radiolääkeaineita
Radiolääkeaineita, also known as radiopharmaceuticals, are pharmaceuticals that contain a radioactive isotope. These substances are used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The radioactive isotope is typically attached to a biologically active molecule, such as a sugar, amino acid, or fatty acid, which targets specific organs or tissues in the body.
In diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, the radioactive isotope emits gamma rays that can be detected by specialized cameras
Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, on the other hand, deliver a targeted dose of radiation to specific tissues or
The use of radiolääkeaineita requires careful consideration of radiation safety and the potential side effects associated
