Biochemical basics of imaging in positron emission tomography in oncology. Part 3

This article provides an overview of the main literature data of biochemical basics and the clinical application of positron emission tomography, one of the promising technologies of radiation imaging in oncology. In the final part, the biokinetics of radiopharmaceuticals that display the proliferative activity of malignant cells and the degree of hypoxia in the tumor focus are examined in detail. The results of studies devoted to assessing their effectiveness, the main indications for their use, the features of preparation for the study, as well as promising scientific developments in this industry are presented.
