Abstract:
The worldwide utilization of (68) Ga-radionuclide for the fundamental research and clinical applications is growing exponentially. A broad range of (68) Ga-based imaging agents has been explored during recent years. The development of new clinically useful agents is encouraged by many factors; for example, increasing role of positron emission tomography (PET) in nuclear medicine, discovery of new biomarkers, accessibility of (68) Ga, and establishment of PET radiopharmaceutical regulation and legislation. The focus of this review resides on the reports regarding (68) Ga-related research and applications published during 2013 to June 2014.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
