A radiopharmaceutical is a radioactive drug used for diagnosis or therapy in a tracer quantity with no pharmacological effect. It is composed of two parts; a radionuclide and a pharmaceutical.
Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive drugs to diagnose and treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body.
A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator that uses a constant magnetic field to hold charged particles in a circular spiral pattern.
Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries using medical imaging techniques, such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound.
Radiotherapy means the use of radiation, usually X-rays, to treat illness.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a scan that uses a magnetic field and pulses of radio wave energy to make pictures of organs and structures inside the body. It may involve the use of contrast agents.
