Radiopharmaceuticals: Introduction
Radiopharmaceuticals, also known as radioactive drugs or radiotracers, are a group of pharmaceutical agents containing radioactive isotopes that are used in nuclear medicine for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. Radiopharmaceuticals emit radiation that can be detected by imaging devices, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanners, enabling physicians to visualize the functioning of organs and tissues, and identify abnormalities at an early stage.
Radiopharmaceuticals Market Scenario
The global radiopharmaceuticals market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising awareness about the benefits of early diagnosis, and advancements in nuclear medicine. Furthermore, the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals, expansion of therapeutic applications, and growing investments in research and development have contributed to the market's expansion.
North America: The largest market for radiopharmaceuticals, driven by factors such as the advanced healthcare infrastructure, a strong focus on research and development, and the presence of major radiopharmaceutical manufacturers.
