Need for the Document

• Radiopharmaceuticals from the Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research (Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN) in Brazil refer to pharmaceutical drugs or compounds that contain radioactive elements. These substances are used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic purposes.

Information which might help

• The process of developing radiopharmaceuticals involves incorporating a radioactive isotope into a pharmaceutical compound to create a radiotracer.
• The radiotracer emits gamma rays or other forms of radiation that can be detected by specialized imaging equipment, allowing medical professionals to visualize and study the function and distribution of the radiotracer in the body.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate
