52.3. FUNDAMENTALPRINCIPLESIN USE OP RADIOISOTOPESIN BIOLOGYAND
MEDICINE. First year. The first six weeks of this course are used to present fundamental principles of nuclear physics and tracer methodology necessary for understanding the use of radioisotopes in biology and medicine. Lecture review: elementary nuclear physics; basic principles of tracer methodology;
the design of experiments illustrating different types of radioisitopes; safety practices in use of radioisotopes in biology; and the use of necessary instru- mentation. Laboratory work includes experiments with different
beu
and gamma emitters in typical physiolorical or biological experiments. The second six weeks will deal with clinica applications of radioisotopes. We will discuss the use of tracers in imaging organs and tumors and the use,of tracers;n
