What Role Does Toxicology Play in Developing New Radiopharmaceuticals?
Toxicology is critical in the development of new radiopharmaceuticals. It helps identify potential toxic effects and determines the safe dosage range. Toxicologists work closely with researchers to design studies that assess the safety of new compounds. These studies often involve in vitro and in vivo testing to evaluate the biological effects and potential risks associated with new radiopharmaceuticals.
