This publication is intended to assist health managers, nuclear medicine physicians and referring physicians involved in the management of cancer patients through further application of positron emission tomography (PET) technology. PET is currently used in conjunction with computed tomography (PET/CT), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) and other radiopharmaceuticals to detect and target cancer …
This publication offers guidance for implementing security measures on radioactive sources. It also provides advice on implementing security related provisions in the Code of Conduct on the Safety and Security of Radioactive Sources

This report considers a variety of circumstances that may require corrective actions to be assessed or implemented at near surface disposal facilities. The circumstances leading to the corrective actions, or the corrective actions themselves, may be of either a technical or a non-technical nature. Methodologies that can be employed to implement effective solutions to problems are discussed, inc…
This publication was produced under an IAEA technical cooperation project and includes information on: livestock feeding and breeding strategies in Asia; enteric methane emission mitigation strategies; a systems approach to sustainable livestock production and manure management; processing and handling of manure to reduce pollution and improve nutrient utilization; and field application and uti…
Cyclotrons are used for preparation of a wide variety of radionuclides that find application in single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as well as in positron emission tomography (PET). This publication gives comprehensive guidelines for the planning and decision making processes and design and implementation of a cyclotron based radionuclide production facility. It will enable Membe…
This highly successful manual has served for nearly three decades as the definitive guide to the safe use of radioactive materials. Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition presents a new dimension by adding coverage of nonionizing radiation, and is thus concerned with the entire field of radiation protection. The author takes the novel approach of introducing the whole range of en…
The first section of this book are introduction. These sections explore such topics as the role of security in the safety program, important government agencies and resources, and the financial impact of safety programs. Without the information presented in these pages, your safety program will not be effective. The second and third sections of this book cover the specific building blocks of a …
Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety provides guidelines for industries that manufacture, consume, or handle chemicals, by focusing on new ways to design, correct, or improve process safety management practices. This new framework for thinking about process safety builds upon the original process safety management ideas published in the early 1990s, integrates industry lessons learned over …
