In imaging protocol, the radioisotope, such as technetium-99m or indium-111, decays through ?-radiation emissions, which are located by a scintigraphic camera (SPECT or PET) in the form of 2/3D image formation of the diseased organ. The other kind of radioisotopes, such as Lutetium-177 or Actinium-225, are those that decay through ?/?-decay, which is due to its valuable linear energy transfer that is in clinical use to eliminate diseased cells. This book will cover valuable information about selected diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotopes along with localization mechanisms of radioisotopes directly or through nanoparticles at diseased cells. 606 $aRadioisotopes$xTherapeutic use 615 0$aRadioisotopes$xTherapeutic use. 676 $a615.84240724 702 $aImran$b Muhammad Babar 702 $aNaqvi$b Syed Ali Raza 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688309703321 996 $aMedical Isotopes$92828053 997 $aUNINA
