Re-assessing gallium-67 as a therapeutic radionuclide☆
INTRODUCTION Despite its desirable half-life and low energy Auger electrons that travel further than for other radionuclides, 67Ga has been neglected as a therapeutic radionuclide. Here, 67Ga is compared with Auger electron emitter 111In as a potential therapeutic radionuclide. METHODS Plasmid pBR322 studies allowed direct comparison between 67Ga and 111In (1MBq) in causing DNA damage, includ...
متن کاملGallium-67 imaging in lymphoma: tricks of the trade.
