Learning unit contents :
Radiopharmacologie des médicaments radiopharmaceutiques
This course is an introduction to the use of ionizing radiation in the field of health, especially radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnosis and therapy.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
Radiopharmacologie des médicaments radiopharmaceutiques
On successful completion of this course, the student will have a basic training in:
  • The different types of ionizing radiation used in medicine;
  • The applications related to the use of these radiations (diagnosis or therapy) and some laboratory applications;
  • The patterns of production and analysis of the different radiopharmaceuticals;
  • The risks related to the use of radioactivity.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Radiopharmacologie des médicaments radiopharmaceutiques
Nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy are areas involved at the interface between physics, chemistry and biology. Physical basic knowledge is needed to understand how scientists generate ionizing radiations that are useful in medicine and how these radiations interact with biological material. Inorganic and organic chemistry concepts are essential to understand the methods of manufacture, purification and analysis of radioactive molecules used as active ingredients of radiopharmaceuticals. To understand how will distribute the in-vivo administered tracers, pharmacology, physiology and cellular biochemical mechanisms are the necessary tools. This multidisciplinary approach is both the difficulty and the attractiveness of radiopharmaceuticals.
A good knowledge of basic concepts previously taught in physic,  biology and chemistry, is essential to understand this course.
