The next generation of positron emission tomography radiopharmaceuticals labeled with non-conventional radionuclides

The nuclear and chemical properties of ‘non-traditional’ positron emission tomography (PET) radionuclides, i.e.44Sc, 61,64Cu, 68Ga, 86Y, 89Zr, as well as their production routes are discussed. The bio-conjugation of these radionuclides with various vectors for target delivery to tumor cells using bi...

Description
Summary:The nuclear and chemical properties of ‘non-traditional’ positron emission tomography (PET) radionuclides, i.e.44Sc, 61,64Cu, 68Ga, 86Y, 89Zr, as well as their production routes are discussed. The bio-conjugation of these radionuclides with various vectors for target delivery to tumor cells using bifunctional chelating agents is reviewed. The applications of various radiopharmaceuticals with ‘non-traditional’ PET radionuclides for molecular visualization of various tumors are summarized.
