Positron emission tomography (PET) is a non-invasive imaging technology which provides a
unique window on the physiology and function of living organisms. It uses short-lived …

In 1998, the commercial introduction of multislice computed tomography made X-ray
functional imaging possible. Specific contrast agents that could remain within the …

Fluorine-18 is no less a remarkable and versatile positron-emitting radionuclide. Decay of
fluorine-18 is largely by positron emission (97%), with a relatively low energy (maximum …

The labeling of probes with fluorine-18 [18F, β (+); 96.7%] continues to play a considerably
important role in the development of positron emission tomography (PET) as a modality for …

The title carnitine derivative was labelled both with [11C] methyl iodide and [3H] methyl
iodide. The former was synthesized in order to improve the knowledge of the acyl carnitines …

Marie Curie carried out the first radiochemical separations which eventually lead to the
discovery of polonium and radium, two new elements. Nearly a century later Darleane …

Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine and medical imaging that uses radioactive
isotopes (radionuclides) to view the physiology and function of organs as diagnostic tool …

This section of Annual Reports will cover recent progress in those aspects of radiochemistry
where radioactivity or the effects of radioactivity (but not radiation chemistry) are of primary …
