Give 3 Facts Defining Radiopharmaceuticals correct answers Used In Vivo Contain radionuclide The biological part targets pathophysiological/physiological processes to highlight specific section for radiation imaging. What does Nuclear Pharmacy deal with? correct answers Nuclear pharmacists deal with developing, testing and preparing radiopharmaceuticals. Who at the federal level, regulates possession of radioactive materials? State level? correct answers US NRC (The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission) and the Florida State Agencies. Why do radionuclides undergo ionizing radiation? correct answers To stabilize the nuclei of the atom What are the three types of ionizing radiation resulting form decay of a radionuclide? correct answers Alpha Decay Beta Decay Gamma Decay How many neutrons and protons does an alpha particle contain? correct answers Alpha particles have 2 neutrons and 2 protons? An alpha particle is a helium nucleus that is missing how many orbital electrons? correct answers Alpha Particle: missing TWO orbital electrons How are alpha particles released? correct answers By any element that LOSES 2 protons (and thus 2 neutrons as well) Note: (N + P) represented by top number P only, represented by bottom number Do alpha particles result from a loss or gain in protons? correct answers LOSS (of 2 protons) What are the two types of Beta particles? correct answers negatron (B-) or positron (B+) What are the products of beta (-) decay? (neutron conversion into...) correct answers proton, ELECTRON, and antineutrino (ve) What are the products of beta (+) decay? correct answers proton, POSITRON, and antineutron What is another name for gamma radiation? correct answers Internal conversion (because the photon comes from the atom's nucleus)
