Radiopharmacology is a field of medicine that focuses on the use of radioactive pharmaceuticals, or radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiopharmaceuticals are used in nuclear medicine, which is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiopharmaceuticals are used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders.
Radiopharmaceuticals are typically administered intravenously or orally, and the radioactive material is absorbed by the body and used to diagnose or treat the condition. The radioactive material is typically short-lived, so it does not remain in the body for long periods of time.
The radiopharmacology market is composed of companies that develop, manufacture, and market radiopharmaceuticals. These companies are typically involved in the research and development of new radiopharmaceuticals, as well as the production and distribution of existing radiopharmaceuticals.
Some companies in the radiopharmacology market include GE Healthcare, Bracco Imaging, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, and Lantheus Medical Imaging. Show Less Read more
