Peter J. H. Scott & Brian G. Hockley 
Radiopharmaceuticals for Positron Emission Tomography, Volume 1 

The ultimate reference guide to the synthesis of
radiopharmaceuticals

The Radiochemical Syntheses series provides scientists
and professionals with a comprehensive reference to proven
synthetic methods for radiochemical reactions, along with
step-by-step guidance on how to replicate these syntheses in the
laboratory.

Volume 1 in the series focuses on the synthesis and purification
of radiopharmaceuticals in clinical use today. It brings together
in one complete, self-contained volume a collection of monographs
containing a wealth of practical information from across the
literature, demonstrating in meticulous detail how to prepare
radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET)
imaging, especially in tumor studies, cardiology, and
neuroscience.

Readers have key experimental details culled from the literature
at their fingertips, greatly simplifying the process of qualifying
a site for the clinical production of new radiopharmaceuticals.
