This document discusses radiopharmaceuticals and radioactive substances. It describes the different types of radiation (alpha, beta, gamma) produced during radioactive decay, including their properties and how they are emitted. It covers topics like isotopes, units of radioactivity, half-life, and the use of radioactive materials in areas like medical diagnostics and therapy through radiopharmaceuticals. Safety protocols for handling radioactive substances are also summarized.
A brief intoducation on Radiopharmaceutical including types of radiation, isotopes, manufacturing, Quality control , and equipments for measurement of radioactivity and Application of radiopharmaceuticals.
In December of 1898, Marie and Pierre Curie announced the discovery of a second element found in the uranium-extracted residues of pitchblende ore and, due to the intense radiation rays it emitted, it was named radiumThe discovery of radium brought radioactivity to the attention of the general public and inspired many new uses of radioactivity. Radiopharmaceuticals, or medicinal radiocompounds, are a group of pharmaceutical drugs containing radioactive isotopes. Radiopharmaceuticals can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Radiopharmaceuticals emit radiation themselves, which is different from contrast media which absorb or alter external electromagnetism or ultrasound. Radiopharmacology is the branch of pharmacology that specializes in these agents.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
2. Radiopharmaceutical
Radioactive substances-They are unstable and
undergo spontaneous decomopsition by emission of
radiation
Isotopes-Nuclides having same number of protons but
different numbers of neutrons are termed as isotopes.
When radioisotopes undergo disintegration or
radioactive decay,they produce alpha,beta,gamma
radiation
Types of Radioactive nuclide
1.natural radionuclide 2.Artificial radionuclide.
E.g uranium 238,radium 226 undergo disintigration to
produce alpha,beta,gamma radical
Unit of radioactivity-Curie(c)
2
3. Radiopharmaceuticals
Curie-It may defined as the quantity of any
radioactive substances undergoes same number
of disintegration in unite time as 1gm of radium is
equal to 3.7×1010 disintegration per second
Half life-Time reqiured to Disintegration of active
compounds at half concentration is known as half
life
t1/2=0.693/lambda

5. 1- Alpha particle decay:
Alpha particles are made of 2 protons and 2
neutrons.
We can write them as , or , because
they're the same as a helium nucleus.
This means that when a nucleus emits an alpha
particle, its atomic number decreases by 2 and its
atomic mass decreases by 4.
Alpha particles are relatively slow and heavy.
They have a low penetrating power - you can
stop them with just a sheet of paper.
Because they have a large charge, alpha particles
ionise other atoms strongly.
Alpha-decay occurs in very heavy elements, for
example, Uranium and Radium.
5
7. Since alpha particles cannot penetrate the dead layer of the skin, they do
not present a hazard from exposure external to the body.
However, due to the very large number of ionizations they produce in a
very short distance, alpha emitters can present a serious hazard when they
are in close proximity to cells and tissues such as the lung. Special
precautions are taken to ensure that alpha emitters are not inhaled,
ingested or injected. 7
8. 2- Beta particle decay:
Beta particles have a charge of minus 1. This
means that beta particles are the same as an
electron.
We can write them as or , because they're
the same as an electron.
This means that when a nucleus emits a -
particle: the atomic mass is unchanged
the atomic number increases or
decreases by 1.
They are fast, and light.
Beta particles have a medium penetrating
power - they are stopped by a sheet of
aluminium.
Example of radiopharmaceutical emits ,
phosphorus-32
Beta particles ionise atoms that they pass, but not
as strongly as alpha particles do.
8
10. Beta particles are much less massive and less charged than
alpha particles and interact less intensely with atoms in the
materials they pass through, which gives them a longer range
10than alpha particles.
11. 3- Gamma ray:
Gamma rays are waves, not particles.
This means that they have no mass and no
charge.
in Gamma decay:
- atomic number unchanged
- atomic mass unchanged.
Gamma rays have a high penetrating power
- it takes a thick sheet of metal such as lead to
reduce them.
Gamma rays do not directly ionise other
atoms, although they may cause atoms to emit
other particles which will then cause ionisation.
We don't find pure gamma sources - gamma
rays are emitted along side alpha or beta
11 particles.
14. 3- Gamma ray:
Useful gamma sources inculde Technetium-99m,
which is used as a "tracer" in medicine.
This is a combined beta and gamma source, and is
chosen because betas are less harmful to the patient
than alphas (less ionisation) and because Technetium
has a short half-life (just over 6 hours), so it decays
away quickly and reduces the dose to the patient.
14
16. Mode of radioactive decay:
Type of Radiation Alpha particle Beta particle Gamma ray
Symbol or
Charge +2 -1 0
Speed slow fast Very fast
Ionising ability high medium 0
Penetrating power low medium high
Stopped by: paper aluminium lead

17. Production of radionisotopes
Reactor irradiation-fissionable material(uranium)
taken In moderator and neutron fluxing on
uranium forms isotopes.
Cyclon Irradiation-Bambarding of atoms causes
generation of radioactive isotopes.
17
18. Measurement of radioactivity
1.Ionization of Chamber-Ionization chamber filled with
gases and fitted with two electrodes.When radiation
passes over it,causes ionization of gas molecules and
forms ions.that ions moves to cathode and anode and
produce electricity.According electricity ampilcity
determines radioactivity
2. Proportional counters-in this application of potential
electones causes bursting of gases and forms more
electron.This electron moves to anode.Generates
electric current.Showes radioactivity in terms of curie.
3.Geiger-Muller counter-These are most popular
Radiation detectors.They can detect
alpha,beta,gamma radiation.Geiger Muller contains
chamber filled with gas under low atmospheric
pressure.Ionization of gas molecule by radiation forms
electric current.electric current showes activity in
18 terms of curie
19. Handelling and storage of Radioactive
isotopes
Precaution during handling and storage of
radioactive substances
1. One should not touch radioactive emitter with hand but it
should be handeled by means of foreceps
2. Smoking,eating and drinking activity should not be done in
laboratory where the radioactive materials handeled
3. Sufficient protective clothing have to be used while handling
the materials
4. Radiactive materials have to be stored in suitable labelled
containers,shielded by lead bricks
5. Area where radioactive materials have to been stored or
used should be monitored.
6. Disposal of radioactive materials should be carried out with
great care
19
20. Application of Isotopes
1. Radiation source in therapy-it produces destructive
role because radiation has ability to cause
radiation.they destruct cancerous cell by
ionization.e.g Sodium phosphate is(32p) used in
therapy of blood cancer
2. Diagnostic purposes-Labeled cyanocobalamine
finds use for measuring glomerular filteration rate
and sodium rose bengal used in liver function test
3. Research-In research isotopes are used as tracers
4. Sterilization-Radiation are use in sterilization of
instrument in hospital and final packed
container.Radiation cause ionization of
bacteria,viruses,fungi,pathogenic bacteria.Hence it
is used in sterilization.e.g Cesium used for
sterlization of surgical instrument.
5. Determination of hypothyroidism and
hyperthyroidism

21. Radio-Opaque contrast media
Defination -are the substances having property of casting shadow on x-ray films.
These substances are having ability to stops X-ray and hence appear opaque on x-ray
examination.such preparation is known as x-ray contrast media.
X-ray passes through high atomic number.The bone is very harder hence by passing
x-ray gives x-ray film image.hence it is used for diagnosis
But soft tissue having less atomic number can able to pass x-ray hence we cant take
x-ray of soft tissue.hence for imaging or casting the x-ray of soft tissue the radio-opaque
contrast media are used
These compounds administered by systemic i.e orally and intravenously
These compounds have been successfully for examination of gastrointestinal
tract,kidney,liver,gall bladder,blood vessels of heart
E.g Barium Sulphate
Classification of Radio-opaque contrast media
1. Water soluble contrast media
2. Water insoluble contrast media
21
22. Ideal requirement of radio-opaque contrast
media
1. It should have high solubility
2. It should have high stability
3. It should not have any pharmacological
effects
4. It should excrete rapidly with no toxic
effects
5. It should stay in the body for sufficient x-ray
visualisation
6. It should concentrate in selectively in the
concerned organs
7. It should have adequate radio-opacity 22
23. Preparation of radio-opaque contrast
media
Barium sulphate(barium meal,shadow meal
