Radiotracers are revolutionized with a novel method

Top Story Radiotracers are revolutionized with a novel method  A study conducted by NIBIB-funded researchers describes a new method to create radioactive tracers that are used for medical imaging, specifically positron emission tomography (PET). The method allows them to attach radioactive atoms to compounds that have previously been difficult or even impossible to label. The advance will make it easier to track medications in the body and identify tumors and other diseases.  Read more
