Overview

The field of nanotechnology has attracted ever-increasing interest over the last few decades. There is currently large-scale incorporation of NPs into many industrial and commercial products, and multi-decorated particles are continuously being evaluated as potential biomedical agents. One of the main challenges to the biological evaluation of NPs (both in vitro and especially in vivo) is the difficulty associated with their tracking. Isotopic labelling, and especially radiolabelling, is a very useful and powerful strategy to determine non-invasively the biodistribution and biological fate of NPs in vivo after administration or involuntary incorporation into living organisms. This book starts with an introduction to the different types of nanomaterials most commonly used in both the biomedical and industrial areas. It then compiles and discusses the various methods reported to date for the radiolabelling of nanomaterials with imaging purposes, and provides illustrative examples of potential applications of the labelled species. Finally, the use of nanomaterials in radiotherapy, stable isotopic labeling strategies, and operational health and safety aspects related with the manipulation of NPs in radioactive facilities are discussed. This book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, molecular imaging, radiochemistry, and nanomedicine.
