Clinical Evaluation of Radiolabeled Drugs for Tubercular Imaging

Clinical evaluation of radiolabeled drugs for tubercular imaging examines how an early diagnosis of tubercular infection can be done. Early diagnosis of Tuberculosis is a prerequisite for its treatment. This book includes various in vitro, in vivo experiments and Phase I clinical trial done helps us to understand how nuclear medicine modality using 99mTc-INH and 99mTc-EMB as radiotracer can be use for the diagnosis of TB, a major cause of death especially in developing country. In vitro and in vivo uptake of these radiotracers is a positive sign for its diagnostic utility not only for the patients suffering from sensitive tuberculosis but also resistant ones.
