Description
Nanoparticles may be used in industrial processes, incorporated into consumer products, or applied as biomedical agents. Isotopic (radio)labeling is one of the most powerful methods for nanoparticle tracing in experimental studies. This book presents an introduction to some commonly used nanomaterials, describes various methods with which they may be radiolabeled, and provides illustrative examples of applications of the labeled particles. Finally, it discusses the use of nanomaterials in radiotherapy, the stable isotope labeling technique, and operational health and safety aspects related to the manipulation of nanoparticles in controlled areas. The book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, molecular imaging, radiochemistry, and nanomedicine.

Reviews
"This book is very comprehensive and timely, particularly because nanomaterials are being more widely used in numerous applications across society. It endeavors to be a comprehensive resource for scientists at all levels in the fields of nanomaterials and radiochemistry--and those who wish to learn about them. It is artfully constructed and leads us through available labeling strategies and the associated complexities of the multiple methods available for the preparation of radiolabeled nanomaterials. I fully recommend this book."

"This book is an excellent companion for everybody who works with radioisotopes and nanomaterials, or who wants to start in this emerging field. The book gives a comprehensive overview from the basics of nanomaterial preparation, over radiolabeling procedures, to biomedical applications and imaging. Each reader, from senior researcher to graduate students, will enjoy this book as reference work or as study book, respectively."
--Prof. Dr. Tobias L. Ross, Hannover Medical School, Germany
