Radioactive
Compounds and Their Clinical Application
The preparation, handling and dispensing of
radioactive materials that are being used for the diagnosis and/or treatment of
diseases form a specialised area of pharmacy, the so-called nuclear pharmacy.
Nuclear pharmacy is defined as the area of pharmacy dealing
with the compounding and dispensing of radioactive
material to be used in nuclear medicine.
In order to understand what a pharmacist’s obligations are when
handling nuclear material, it is important to understand what radioactivity is
and how it is used in a clinical setting.
