Convenient synthesis of ~(68)Ga-labeled gadolinium(III) complexes: Towards bimodal responsive probes for functional imaging with PET/MRI

摘要

A killer application? Recently, fully integrated full-body positron-emission tomography (PET) and magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) scanners were brought to market, allowing simultaneous recording of complementary 3D data sets. By using bimodal PET/MRI probes (see figure), in vivo 3D mapping of various parameters with medical relevance could become feasible.
