INTRODUCTIONIn general, medical physics is application of physics theories, concepts, and methods tohealthcare or medicine. It is also called medical biophysics or biomedical physics, radiologicalphysics. Medical physics departments can be found in universities or hospitals. In case ofhospital work, term medical physicist is title of specific healthcare profession, commonly workwithin the hospitals. Radionuclide is an atom which has extra nuclear energy which makes itunstable (Brown and et. al., 2017).1 Biological properties and radiological properties of radionuclides used for imagingRadionuclide is a term which apply to an atom with unstable atomic nucleus. It is a correct termfor radioisotope. Theses atoms, when undergo radioactive decay and emit radioactivity and it isradioactive. More radionuclide therapies relocate from laboratory practicability studies in clinicalreality (Lawrence and Gofman 2013). Biological properties: It emit radiation that is detected outside of the body. These arerelatively affordable. It can be out inside body easily such as inhalation, ingestion and injection.It mimics behaviour of biological material. It has low toxicity and non-allergic and non-toxic ().It targets smallest dose to target or body organ when it delivers useful information. Rapidly aspossible it can be eliminated from body. It has short physical life, so it decays quickly. Radiological properties: Principle is accepted to bring radionuclide conjugate in clinicaltherapy trials. These properties are patient specific or animal specific pharmacokinetic and matchset of a specific clinical endpoint (Radionuclides, 2017). It includes radionuclide physical half-life, product specific activity, types and range of emissions, and results in effect on normal tissuecellular and tumour survival. Reaching of normal tissues clearing agents, chimerized carrier orfragmented to improve target.2 Radio pharmaceuticals for a range of clinical imaging requirementsRadiopharmaceutical is type of molecule which consists of radioisotope tracer thatattached to pharmaceuticals (Radiopharmaceuticals, 2019). After entering in body, radio-labelled pharmaceuticals accumulate in specific tumour tissue or organ. It is attached to targetingpharmaceuticals which will undergo decay that produce specific radiation amounts which canused in diagnosis or treatment of human injuries and diseases (Lahiri and et. al., 2012).
