Book Description
"This report...is designed to serve as a guide for persons (including physicians, nurses, and funeral directors) concerned with the patient who has received a THERAPEUTIC dose of a radionuclide...With the increasing use of radionuclides in therapy, a more comprehensive consideration of the problem, including that of the ambulatory radioactive patient, is desirable. Four situations are of interest: (1) the patient receiving regular nursing care in the hospital; (2) the patient receiving emergency surgery; (3) the patient released from the hospital while still containing an appreciable quantity of the radionuclide; (4) the patient who dies while appreciably radioactive. The present report includes information and recommendations on all of these points for a larger number of radionuclides than were considered in the earlier NCRP report. This report is directed primarily to problems encountered in the general hospital where the therapeutic use of radioactive material is occasional rather than carried out on an intensive scale. For the few large radiation centers more detailed and specialized provisions may be necessary, and can be developed from the principles given here. This report is intended to serve as a guide to good practice. It provides basic standards which may be used in the preparation of regulatory protection codes, but is not specifically written for literal adoption as legal regulations." -- From Preface, page iii.

Advancing Nuclear Medicine Through Innovation
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309134153
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
Nearly 20 million nuclear medicine procedures are carried out each year in the United States alone to diagnose and treat cancers, cardiovascular disease, and certain neurological disorders. Many of the advancements in nuclear medicine have been the result of research investments made during the past 50 years where these procedures are now a routine part of clinical care. Although nuclear medicine plays an important role in biomedical research and disease management, its promise is only beginning to be realized. Advancing Nuclear Medicine Through Innovation highlights the exciting emerging opportunities in nuclear medicine, which include assessing the efficacy of new drugs in development, individualizing treatment to the patient, and understanding the biology of human diseases. Health care and pharmaceutical professionals will be most interested in this book's examination of the challenges the field faces and its recommendations for ways to reduce these impediments.
