Description
Technetium-99m continues to be the most widely used radioisotope in diagnostics. However, it is known that the goals of nuclear medicine in imaging can not be fulfilled by using exclusively 99mTc. In the paper discussed is the production of some new radioisotopes (rather than 99mTc) for the use in the emission tomography. In SPET most important are 97Ru, 111In, 123I and 201Tl. In PET the main are the four 'organic' radioisotopes positron emitters, particularly 11C and 18F (besides 13N and 15O). Some other, like 64Cu and 124I are emerging. Emphasis is also given on the development of the generator systems for the production of short-lived positron emitters 68Ga (from parent 68Ge) and 62Cu (from parent 62Zn). (author)
