Kara Weatherman's work centers on nuclear pharmacy, covering the preparation and use of radioactive drugs (radiopharmaceuticals) for medical imaging and treatment. Much of the publicly listed output is a comprehensive textbook on radiopharmaceuticals in nuclear pharmacy and nuclear medicine, with chapters spanning radiation physics, radiation safety, radiopharmaceutical chemistry, and organ-specific imaging procedures (e.g., kidney, bone, thyroid, brain, liver). This work is oriented toward practical and educational aspects of the field rather than primary experimental research.
