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 …

The cyclotron production of gallium-68 via the 68Zn (p, n) 68Ga nuclear reaction in liquid
targets is gaining significant traction in clinics. This work describes (1) the synthesis of new …

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

Introduction Common variants in the SLC30A8 gene, encoding the secretory granule zinc
transporter ZnT8 (expressed largely in pancreatic islet alpha and beta cells), are associated …

Non-invasive imaging techniques to dynamically map whole-body trafficking of essential
metals in vivo in health and diseases are needed. Despite 62Zn having appropriate physical …
