La medicina nucleare, disciplina basata su tecnologie avanzate e caratterizzata da una continua attività di ricerca, in cui convergono e operano figure con professionalità diverse, non può prescindere per le attività specifiche dal perseguimento di un sistema di assicurazione della qualità e dal suo mantenimento per corrispondere alle aspettative di appropriatezza, efficacia e sostenibilità, garantendo altresì agli operatori e ai pazienti condizioni di sicurezza sotto ogni profilo. La qualità e la sicurezza delle prestazioni sanitarie sono disciplinate da requisiti normativi sempre più stringenti; nel contempo i criteri di efficacia e sostenibilità sono oggetto di linee guida cliniche in continuo aggiornamento. Va quindi progressivamente riducendosi la discrezionalità degli operatori, la cui perizia e il cui senso etico e di responsabilità – imprescindibili in ambito sanitario – sono oggi considerati insufficienti per garantire la sicurezza e la qualità del servizio prestato, se non supportati dalla piena aderenza a  ben definite procedure dettate dai requisiti normativi di riferimento. La finalità delle normative in ambito sanitario è quindi duplice: in primo luogo prescrivere e far rispettare procedure che garantiscano la sicurezza e la qualità delle prestazioni; in secondo luogo, costituire la base di partenza per un progressivo miglioramento dei processi di diagnosi e cura.  Questo volume  compendia gli aspetti tecnici e regolatori relativi alla produzione dei radiofarmaci, alla gestione delle tecnologie e al controllo dei processi ai fini del mantenimento di elevati standard di qualità e sicurezza; tali requisiti sono indispensabili per l'appropriato utilizzo dei radiofarmaci sia nella pratica clinica sia nella sperimentazione. L'opera rappresenta un valido  strumento nell’ambito di un programma di formazione e sostegno disciplinare e costituisce un indispensabile e aggiornato supporto non solo per coloro che già operano nella medicina nucleare, ma anche per il personale in formazione che vi opererà.  .

The book Radioisotopes - Applications in Physical Sciences is divided into three sections namely: Radioisotopes and Some Physical Aspects, Radioisotopes in Environment and Radioisotopes in Power System Space Applications. Section I contains nine chapters on radioisotopes and production and their various applications in some physical and chemical processes. In Section II, ten chapters on the applications of radioisotopes in environment have been added. The interesting articles related to soil, water, environmental dosimetry/tracer and composition analyzer etc. are worth reading. Section III has three chapters on the use of radioisotopes in power systems which generate electrical power by converting heat released from the nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes. The system has to be flown in space for space exploration and radioisotopes can be a good alternative for heat-to-electrical energy conversion. The reader will very much benefit from the chapters presented in this section.

Nuclear medicine is an important component of modern medicine that should be familiar to all medical students and professionals in various health care disciplines. This easy-to-use book is designed to acquaint readers with the basic principles of nuclear medicine, the instrumentation used, the gamut of procedures available, and the basis for selecting specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedures and interpreting results. After an introductory chapter on the history, technical basis, and scope of nuclear medicine, a series of chapters are devoted to the application of nuclear medicine techniques in the different body systems. In addition, the use of nuclear medicine methods within oncology is carefully examined, covering diagnosis, staging, assessment of treatment response, radiotherapy planning, and the sentinel node technique. The book concludes with a chapter devoted to nuclear medicine therapy. This practical and up-to-date guide to nuclear medicine is ideal for beginners and will also help professionals who need to retrieve useful information rapidly.
