Radiopharmaceuticals are used for many procedure involved in nuclear medicine. They are admitted to a patient in one of three ways: orally, inhalation, or intravenously. Each radiopharmaceutical is designed specifically to reach the target organ a doctor may want to view. Once it has reached the target organ a technologists will use a PET scan to capture an image to view the function. Hope that helped you out.

When was Avid Radiopharmaceuticals created?
Avid Radiopharmaceuticals was created in 2005.
What has the author Knud Kristensen written?
Knud Kristensen has written: 'Preparation and control of radiopharmaceuticals in hospitals' -- subject(s): Radiopharmaceuticals
What are the analysis of the procedure of receiving radiopharmaceticals?
The analysis of the procedure for receiving radiopharmaceuticals typically involves verifying the correct product, dosage, patient information, and expiration date. Quality control checks are performed to ensure the radiopharmaceutical is within acceptable parameters for use. Strict radiation safety protocols are followed during handling and transportation to prevent contamination and exposure to radiation.
What are all products that uses technetium?
Technetium-99m is largely used as tracer in radiodiagnostic (many radiopharmaceuticals contain Tc).Technetium-99 is used as standard source for beta radiation. Technetium-95m is used as tracer in environmental studies.
What is the name of the procedure used on someone who is choking?
The Heimlich Maneuver is the procedure used on someone who is choking. The Heimlich Maneuver is the procedure used on someone who is choking.
How are radiopharmaceuticals used to examine the body?
Radiopharmaceuticals are compounds that contain radioactive isotopes and are used in nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat diseases. When administered to a patient, they emit radiation that can be detected by imaging devices, such as PET or SPECT scanners, allowing for visualization of physiological processes and the assessment of organ function. This technique helps in identifying conditions like cancer, heart disease, and various other illnesses by providing detailed images of the body's internal structures and functions.
What could you do with a BA in radiology?

What type of tests is a parathyroid scan?
A parathyroid scan is a type of nuclear medicine imaging test that is used to locate and assess the function of the parathyroid glands in the neck. It helps in identifying abnormal growths or tumors in the parathyroid glands, which can cause issues with calcium regulation in the body.
What is technetium hexafluoride used for?
Technetium hexafluoride is used as a precursor in the production of technetium compounds for medical imaging purposes, specifically in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging. It is used to create radiopharmaceuticals for imaging procedures such as single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans.
What is the diagnostic procedure used to assess damage to the middle ear?
The procedure is known as tympanometry.
