Gibson ED - Nirmal Singh Y1 - 2011-11-21 PY - 2011 T1 - The Use of Radioisotopes to Characterise the Abnormal Permeability of Red Blood Cells from Sickle Cell Patients N2 - The book Radioisotopes - Applications in Bio-Medical Science contains two sections: Radioisotopes and Radiations in Bioscience and Radioisotopes and Radiology in Medical Science. Section I includes chapters on medical radioisotope production, radio-labeled nano-particles, radioisotopes and nano-medicine, use of radiations in insects, drug research, medical radioisotopes and use of radioisotopes in interdisciplinary fields etc. In Section II, chapters related to production of metal PET (positron emission tomography) radioisotopes, 3-dimensional and CT (computed tomography) scan, SS nuclear medicine in imaging, cancer diagnose and treatments have been included. The subject matter will by highly useful to the medical and paramedical staff in hospitals, as well as researchers and scholars in the field of nuclear medicine medical physics and nuclear bio-chemistry etc. BT - Radioisotopes SP - Ch. 8 UR - https://doi.org/10.5772/24426 DO - 10.5772/24426 SN - PB - IntechOpen CY - Rijeka Y2 - 2024-04-26 ER -
