This book describes radionanomedicine as an integrated medicine using exogenous and endogenous
This book describes radionanomedicine as an integrated approach that uses exogenous and
endogenous nanomaterials for in vivo and human applications. It comprehensively explains
radionanomedicine comprising nuclear and nanomedicine demonstrating that it is more than
radionanodrugs and that radionanomedicine also takes advantage of nuclear medicine using trace
technology in which miniscule amounts of materials and tracer kinetic elucidate in vivo
biodistribution.It also discusses exogenous nanomaterials such as inorganic silica iron oxide
upconversion nanoparticles and quantum dots or organic liposomes labelled with radioisotopes
and radionanomaterials used for targeted delivery and imaging for theranostic purposes. Further
it examines endogenous nanomaterials i.e. extracellular vesicles labelled with radioisotopes
known as radiolabelled extracellular vesicles aswell as positron emission tomography (PET) and
single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) which elucidate the biodistribution and
potential for therapeutic success.
