Abstract

PET (positron emission tomography) is a technique of medical image of great sensibility and high resolution that requires short-lived positron emitting radionuclides. The most commonly used are and .The main difficulty of these radionuclides is the necessity to install a cyclotron in the site of use or not very far from it. Therefore convenient radionuclides have been researches, among them. The availability of this radionuclide from long-lived / generators, which can been used for along time far from the cyclotron location, and the rich coordination chemistry of have allowed to incorporate to the medical practice some radiopharmaceuticals as well as the research of a variety of stables complexes of coupled to biomolecules for diagnostic imaging of cancer and cardiovascular and neurological diseases. The present work is aimed at examining the potentialities of the - radiopharmacy.
