Prospective of 68Ga Radionuclide Contribution to the Development of Imaging Agents for Infection and Inflammation

During the last decade, the utilization of Ga-68 for the development of imaging agents has increased considerably with the leading position in the oncology. The imaging of infection and inflammation is lagging despite strong unmet medical needs. This review presents the potential routes for the development of Ga-68-based agents for the imaging and quantification of infection and inflammation in various diseases and connection of the diagnosis to the treatment for the individualized patient management.
