radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive agents, when small amounts are used, the radiation my body receives from them is very low and is considered safe, when larger amounts, agents are given to treat disease, different effects on the body, when radiopharmaceuticals, help diagnose medical problems, only small amounts are given to the patient, the radiopharmaceutical then passes through, is taken up by, an organ, the body, which organ depends on what radiopharmaceutical is used and how it has been given, then the radioactivity is detected, pictures are produced, by special imaging equipment, pictures allow the nuclear medicine doctor to study how the organ is working, detect cancer, tumors, present, organ, some radiopharmaceuticals are used in larger amounts to treat certain kinds, cancer and other diseases, in those cases, the radioactive agent is taken up, cancerous area and destroys the affected tissue, the information that follows applies only to radiopharmaceuticals when used in small amounts to diagnose medical problems, the dosages, radiopharmaceuticals, diagnose medical problems will be different for different patients and depend on the type, test, radioactivity, a radiopharmaceutical is expressed in units, becquerels, curies, radiopharmaceutical dosages given, as small as 0.185 megabecquerels, 5 microcuries, as high as 1295 megabecquerels, 35 millicuries, the radiation received from these dosages, about the same as, even less than, the radiation received from an x-ray study, the same organ, radiopharmaceuticals are, given only by, under the direct supervision, a doctor with specialized training in nuclear medicine,
before using this medicine
in deciding to use a diagnostic test, any risks, the test, weighed against the good it will do, test results, affected by other things, for radiopharmaceuticals, allergies if you will be receiving albumin, form, radioiodinated albumin, technetium tc 99m albumin aggregated, technetium tc 99m albumin colloid, technetium tc 99m albumin for my test, allergic reaction to products containing human serum albumin, allergic to any other substance, foods, preservatives, dyes, radiopharmaceuticals, not recommended for use during pregnancy, this is to avoid exposing the fetus to radiation, some radiopharmaceuticals, used for diagnostic tests in pregnant women, necessary to inform a physician, pregnant so the doctor may reduce the radiation dose to the baby, this is especially important with radiopharmaceuticals that contain radioactive iodine, which can go to the baby's thyroid gland, in high enough amounts, thyroid damage, discuss this with a physician, when breast-feeding , some radiopharmaceuticals pass into the breast milk and may expose the baby to radiation, must receive a radiopharmaceutical, can be necessary for, stop breast-feeding for some time after receiving it, discuss this with a physician, children for most radiopharmaceuticals, radiation used for a diagnostic test is very low and considered safe, be sure you have discussed with a physician the benefit versus the risk, exposing my child to radiation, haven't been studied specifically in older people, problems in older people, most radiopharmaceuticals, elderly with use in other age groups, problems would not be expected to occur, a good idea, with a physician if you notice any unusual effects after receiving a radiopharmaceutical, an interaction might occur, change the dose, when you are going to receive a radiopharmaceutical, a physician know, taking any other prescription, nonprescription, over-the-counter, otc, will be receiving radioactive iodine, sodium iodide i 123, sodium iodide i 131, sodium pertechnetate tc 99m for a thyroid test, a physician know, been taking iodine through other medicine, foods, test, affected if, iodine-containing medicines, certain multivitamins and cough syrups, eat large amounts, iodine-containing foods, iodized salt, seafood, cabbage, kale, rape, turnip-like vegetable, turnips, have had an x-ray test recently for which you were given a special dye that contained iodine, other medical problems, radiopharmaceuticals, any other medical problems,
preparation, test
the nuclear medicine doctor, special instructions for you in preparation for my test, before some tests you, must fast for several hours, the test, affected, for other tests you should drink plenty, liquids, do not understand the instructions you receive, not received any instructions, check with the nuclear medicine doctor in advance,
precautions, know the side effects, there are usually no special precautions to observe for radiopharmaceuticals when they are used in small amounts for diagnosis, some radiopharmaceuticals may accumulate, in my bladder, to increase the flow, urine and lessen the amount, radiation to my bladder, drink plenty, liquids and urinate often after certain tests, for patients receiving radioactive iodine, iodohippurate sodium i 123, iodohippurate sodium i 131, iofetamine i 123, iothalamate i 125, radioiodinated albumin, radioiodinated iobenguane, planning to have any future thyroid tests, even after several weeks, the thyroid test, affected by the iodine solution, given before the radiopharmaceutical, side effects, along with its needed effects, some unwanted effects, when radiopharmaceuticals are used in very small doses to study an organ, the body, side effects are rare and usually involve an allergic reaction , effects may occur almost immediately, a few minutes after the radiopharmaceutical is given, can be helpful to note the time when you first notice any side effect, nuclear medicine physician and/or technologist, nurse will be prepared to give you immediate medical attention, nurse immediately, side effects occur, chills, difficulty breathing , drowsiness , severe, fainting, fast heartbeat, fever, flushing, redness, skin, headache, severe, nausea, vomiting, skin rash , hives, itching, stomach pain, swelling, throat, hands, feet, other side effects, note the time when they start and check with a physician,
