Fully human antibodies can be constructed from phage libraries. In addition to the diversity of engineered antibodies, other molecules can be attached to the antibody, such as enzymes, toxins, viruses, radionuclides, and biosensors for targeting, imaging, or diagnosing. These are commonly referred to as conjugated" monoclonal antibodies.

The choice of radionuclide depends on the type of imaging envisaged. For simple imaging, isotopes with short half-lives are suitable. For targeted imaging, the localization process may take up to 72 h, meaning that short-lived isotopes will decay before they can be used.
