About
Dr. Rajendra G. Sonkawade is a distinguished nuclear physicist and radiochemist whose pioneering work bridges the gap between medical cyclotron technology and clinical PET imaging. His primary research focuses on the development of novel radiopharmaceutical production techniques, radiation dosimetry, and the optimization of nuclear medicine protocols. Dr. Sonkawade’s most notable contribution is the groundbreaking method for the simultaneous production of (18)F-fluoride ion for bone PET imaging alongside (18)F-FDG in a single cyclotron run, dramatically improving efficiency while minimizing radiation exposure to personnel. This innovative approach, detailed in his 2014 paper, has garnered 3 citations and represents a significant advancement in radiochemistry workflow. His work demonstrates exceptional technical ingenuity in repurposing standard radiochemistry modules for dual-isotope production, offering practical solutions for resource-limited nuclear medicine facilities. Dr. Sonkawade’s research continues to influence the safe and efficient production of medical isotopes, making him a respected figure in the field of nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceutical sciences.
