Nuclear medicine is composed of two complementary areas, imaging and therapy. Positron
emission tomography (PET) and single-photon imaging, including single-photon emission …

The present article highlights the important progress made in the last two decades in the
fields of molecular imaging and radionuclide therapy. Advancements in radiometal-based …

Over the last several years, the use of radiometals has gained increasing relevance in
supporting the continuous development of new, complementary and more specific biological …

The present review describes the methodological aspects and prospects of the production of
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiometals in a liquid target using low-medium …

Essential trace metals such as copper, zinc, iron, and manganese perform critical functions
in cellular and physiologic processes including catalytic, regulatory, and signaling roles …

Introduction Diagnostic radiometals are typically obtained from cyclotrons by irradiating solid
targets or from radioisotope generators. These methods have the advantage of high …

Abstract Positron-emission-tomography (PET) has become an indispensable diagnostic tool
in modern nuclear medicine. Its outstanding molecular imaging features allow repetitive …

The application of nanoparticles is promising for the purposes of nuclear medicine due to
the possibilities of using them as vectors and transporters of radionuclides. In this study, we …

Manganese has long been employed as a T1-shortening agent in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) applications, but these techniques are limited by the biotoxicity of bulk …

The human zinc transporter SLC39A2, also known as ZIP2, was shown to mediate zinc
transport that could be inhibited at pH< 7.0 and stimulated by HCO3–, suggesting a …
