Article Title: Copper-64 Radiopharmaceuticals for Oncologic Imaging
Abstract: The positron emitting radionuclide <sup>64</sup>Cu has a radioactive half-life of 12.7 hours. The decay characteristics of <sup>64</sup>Cu allow for PET images that are comparable in quality to those obtained using <sup>18</sup>F. Given the longer radioactive half-life of <sup>64</sup>Cu compared with <sup>18</sup>F and the versatility of copper chemistry, copper is an attractive alternative to the shorter-lived nuclides for PET imaging of peptides, antibodies, and small molecules that may require longer circulation times. This article discusses a number of copper radiopharmaceuticals, such as Cu-ATSM, that have been translated to the clinic and new developments in copper-based radiopharmaceuticals. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.
