Abstract

In the past three decades enormous advances have been made in the production of radioactive tracers, especially with regard to their applications in medical and biological studies (Wagner 1968; Wolf and Fowler 1979; Larson and Carasquillo 1984; Silvester 1976; Ruth and Krohn 1981). Instrumentally it is a very long way for a radioactive tracer from its place of origin to delivery for use as a radiopharmaceutical. Between the physics, as source of the bombarding particles, and the physicians, as users of the tracers, the position of radiochemistry is of great importance.
