Metal‐Based Imaging Agents

Abstract: Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that contain a radionuclide and are routinely used for diagnosis and treatment of disease. This review discusses imaging agents that are useful for diagnosis using Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Moreover, this entry focuses on the growing class of metal‐based imaging agents, wherein the radionuclide is a transition metal or posttransition metal.
