“…188 Re is a noteworthy therapeutic radionuclide with potential value in diagnosis because it emits both g rays (155 keV) and an extremely high energy of b particles (2.12 MeV) during decay. Its atomic radius is similar to technetium, and both radionuclides share common chemistry (9,10). Moreover, the tissue penetration of emitted b particles is only 5 mm, but it is sufficient to suppress the proliferation of human cancer cells with little damage to surrounding normal tissues (11).…”

“…In humans, the retention time in the heart is too short, probably due to a reduction of the complex to a neutral Tc(I1) species that washes out of the heart (5,6). Neutral ~~~~s -~~" T c ( D M P E ) , x~ was found to cross the blood-brain barrier in rats and thus might provide the basis for brain-perfusion imaging agents (7).…”

“…Re and Tc complexes with the same ligand have essentially the same coordination parameters since the ionic radii of both metals are about the same due to the 'lanthanide contraction' effect. However, their chemistries do differ, for example, the higher oxidation states of Re are more stable and therefore reduced Re radiopharmaceuticals display a greater tendency to undergo re-oxidation to perrhenate [42].…”
