DTPA has also been used in the peptide-based " in-DTPA-octreotide. Octreotide is a shortened peptide analog of somatostatin designed to be more stable in vivo. Radiolabeling of octreotide for diagnostic imaging applications with radioisotopes for PET or SPECT has been investigated,... 

Technetium and rhenium coordination chemistry has actively developed in order to design materials as potential radiopharmaceuticals diagnostic imaging agents for technetium and potential therapeutic reagents based on rhenium. Continuous efforts are still applied to find efficient chelating systems for the [MO]3+ cores (M=Tc, Re). Thus several complexes with monodentate and... 

In the context of the development of new contrast agents for medical diagnostic imaging, the nanoparticulate carriers have indeed drawn special attention. These systems allow for an efficient site-specific delivery of targeted contrast agents and, due to their size, provide some relaxivity enhancement with respect to the isolated paramagnetic molecules. 

In the last chapter receptor-based diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals are reviewed including considerations on drug design, on receptors, and on receptor imaging with the objective of modifying the pharmacokinetics of these agents.
