In some ways, chemistry can be viewed as having nothing whatsoever to do with the nucleus of the atoms.Bonding, spectroscopy, chemical reactivity, and such are all a consequence of the electrons of which an atom is partially composed. The nucleus, in...

Nuclear chemistry is a subfield of chemistry dealing with radioactivity, nuclear processes and nuclear properties. * It is the chemistry of radioactive elements such as the actinides, radium and radon together with the chemistry associated with...

* hemistry, of course, is essential to the development of new radiotracers and to the evaluation of their actions both in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A number of recent research and investigative efforts offer great promise for future innovations in the field. Among these,...

Modern imaging research is enriched and strengthened by the integration of many disciplines. However, it is advances in radiotracer chemistry that have played the pivotal role in driving the field in new directions in studies of human physiology. Two new radiotracer classes, labeled -sheet...

Thousands of patients are facing delays in crucial medical tests because of a shortage of a radioactive substance used in those examinations — all because of the shutdown of one nuclear reactor in Canada.The substance is used in at least 15 million medical scans a...
