Excerpt

There is an increasing need in routine clinical neuroimaging for simple and accessible methodologies which can reduce examination times but still provide reliable information about the status of the disease. More widespread use of PET technology would be favoured by avoiding the investment and running expenses associated with an on-site cyclotron. The clinical implementation of PET would benefit from cost reductions. The use of isotope generators could potentially allow centres remote from a cyclotron to have access to a wide range of radiopharmaceuticals. …
