Radioactive Tracers in Pharmacy

Description

This lecture covers advanced topics in analytical chemistry for pharmacists, focusing on the use of radioactive tracers. The instructor explains calculations related to the decay of plutonium 238 in a pacemaker, the determination of blood volume using isotopic dilution, and the analysis of radioactive tracers' elimination periods. Through exercises, students learn to calculate initial power, blood volume, effective tracer periods, and biological elimination periods.
