Need for the Document

• Radiopharmaceuticals such as Sodium Iodide (NaI) and Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) at the Institute of Nuclear Engineering (Instituto de Engenharia Nuclear - IEN) in Brazil are radioactive substances used in nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic purposes.

Information which might help

Sodium Iodide (NaI):

• Radiotracer: Sodium Iodide (NaI) can be labeled with a radioactive isotope of iodine, typically iodine-131 (I-131), to create a radiotracer. I-131 is commonly used in nuclear medicine due to its emission of gamma rays and beta particles.
• Diagnostic Imaging: NaI-I-131 radiotracer is used in nuclear imaging procedures such as thyroid scintigraphy to assess thyroid function and detect thyroid abnormalities.
• Therapeutic Use: I-131 is also used for therapeutic purposes, particularly in the treatment of certain thyroid disorders and thyroid cancer.

Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG):

• Radiotracer: Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is labeled with a radioactive isotope, usually iodine-131 or iodine-123, to create a radiotracer for imaging studies.
• Diagnostic Imaging: MIBG radiotracers are used in nuclear imaging, primarily in the assessment and detection of neuroendocrine tumors, such as neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma. These tumors have specific uptake sites for MIBG, allowing their localization and evaluation.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses for obtaining this document/certificate.

e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
