Learning objectives

The course provides an introduction to the physical and chemical principles underlying the use of radiation and inorganic compounds in medicine. It integrates concepts from nuclear and radiation physics with elements of medicinal inorganic chemistry, with particular emphasis on the role of radioisotopes in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The course is structured into two complementary modules. The first module aims to provide the fundamentals of nuclear physics, radioactivity, and radiation–matter interaction, which are necessary to understand the production and main applications of radioisotopes in medicine (imaging, radiotherapy, and brachytherapy), as well as the biological effects of ionizing radiation and the meaning of the related physical quantities. The second module focuses on coordination chemistry and the properties of radiolabelled compounds, addressing their use in nuclear medicine within well-defined biochemical and pathophysiological contexts. Clinically established agents and emerging systems at the preclinical stage are discussed, providing students with the fundamental concepts underlying the design of radiopharmaceuticals for applications such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Site visits may be included to illustrate real-world applications of the technologies discussed. Overall, the course aims to provide students with the knowledge required to understand the development and application of radiopharmaceuticals in a biomedical context.
