Abstract
Knowledge about the fundamentals of radionuclide production and generator systems, design and in vitro-& in vivo-characterization of radiolabelled peptides and antibodies., chemistry of Tc, Re and other radiometals, including the usage of kits as well as of chemistry of 11C and 18F and of other radiohalogens.
Objective
