  • TO THE P2 CLASS ON
  • MARCH 24, 2004

2
What is Nuclear Pharmacy?
  • Specialty area of pharmacy practice
  • Dedicated to the compounding and dispensing of
    radiopharmaceuticals
  • Diagnostic and therapeutic uses

3
Daily Operations
  • Milking the Generator
  • Preparation of Radioactive kits
  • Making individual doses
  • Transporting
  • Waste Disposal

4
99Mo 99mTc Generator
  • Source of Radioactivity
  • Components of Generator
  • Elution or Milking of Generator

5
Kit Preparation
  • Multi-dose vials
  • Ligand-containing
  • Different kits for different therapeutic and
    diagnostic procedures
  • 99mTc added for radioactivity

6
Individual Doses
  • Order received from hospital or clinic
  • Dose drawn from radioactive kits
  • Volume drawn aseptically
  • Behind lead shield barrier
  • Final dosage assayed in dose calibrator
  • Placed in lead Pig

7
Transportation
  • Dose in Pig placed in lead briefcase
  • Scan briefcase for safety purposes
  • DOT regulates transportation

8
Waste Disposal
  • Time degradation is factored in
  • Over time, waste becomes cold
  • Cold waste treated
  • Incineration
  • Sterilization

9
Safety
  • Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
  • Guidelines
  • Laws
  • License
  • ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) Concept

10
Diagnostic Uses
  • Brain Imaging
  • CSF Imaging
  • Bone Imaging
  • Cardiac Imaging
  • Pulmonary Imaging
  • Liver and Hepatobiliary Imaging
  • Renal Imaging
  • Thyroid Imaging
  • Tumor Imaging

11
Therapeutic Uses
  • Hyperthyroidism
  • Palliative treatment of Bone Cancer
  • Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma

12
In Vivo and In Vitro Testing
  • Red Blood Cell Labeling
  • Uses include
  • GI blood loss studies
  • Blood pool studies
  • Spleen Imaging

13
PETPositron Emission Tomography
  • Generate radioactivity in nuclear reactor
  • Manufacture radiopharmaceutical
  • Shows both anatomy and physiology
  • Shorter half-life than traditional
    radiopharmaceuticals

14
How to become a Nuclear Pharmacist
  • Must be a RPh.
  • Complete nuclear certification training
  • University-based
  • Purdue University
  • The Ohio State University
