Radiolabeled gallium complexes, methods for synthesis and use for PET imaging of EGFR expression in malignant tumors

摘要

Methods for labeling synthesis of radiolabeled gallium complex by microwave activation are provided. The resultant gallium-isotope labeled compounds are useful as radiopharmaceuticals, especially for use in Positron Emission Tomography (PET). A method for imaging EGFR overexpression in tumors using PET is also provided.
