Description
Radionuclides are the key ingredient of all radiopharmaceuticals that are used in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures. A variety of radionuclides with different nuclear and chemical properties is required to cover all needs. Sometimes those radionuclides with optimum nuclear properties for a given application tend to be more challenging to produce in sufficient quality and quantity. In specific cases, nuclear physics studies are required to better characterize the decays or to develop more suitable production paths.
