abstract = {Positron emission tomography (PET) has become an
indispensable diagnostic tool in modern nuclear medical
diagnostics. Its outstanding molecular imaging features
allow repetitive studies on one individual and with high
sensitivity, though no interference. Rather few positron
emitters with near favourable physical properties, i.e.
carbon-11 and fluorine-18, furnished most studies in the
beginning, preferably if covalently bound as isotopic label
of small molecules. With the advancement of PET-devices the
scope of in vivo research in life sciences and especially
that of medical applications expanded, and other than
“standard” PET-nuclides received increasing
significance, like the radiometals copper-64 and gallium-68.
Especially during the last decades, positron emitters of
other chemical elements have gotten into the focus of
interest, concomitant with the technical advancements in
imaging and radionuclide production. With known nuclear
imaging properties and main production methods of emerging
positron emitters their usefulness for medical application
is promising and even proven for several ones already.
Unfortunate decay properties could be corrected for, and
β+-emitters, especially with a longer half-life, provided
new possibilities for application where slower processes are
of importance.Further on, (bio)chemical features of positron
emitters of other elements, among there many metals, not
only expanded the field of classical clinical
investigations, but also opened up new fields of
application. Appropriately labelled peptides, proteins and
nanoparticles lend itself as newer probes for PET-imaging,
e.g. in theragnostic or PET/MR hybrid imaging. Furthermore,
the potential of non-destructive in-vivo imaging with
positron emission tomography directs the view on further
areas of life sciences. Thus, exploiting the excellent
methodology for basic research on molecular biochemical
functions and processes is increasingly encouraged as well
in areas outside of health, such as plant and environmental
sciences.},
