- Abstract
The Positron Medical Center has developed a large number of radiopharmaceuticals and 36 radiopharmaceuticals have been approved for clinical use for studying aging and geriatric diseases, especially brain functions. Positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to provide a highly advanced PET-based diagnosis. The current status of the development of radiopharmaceuticals, and representative clinical and methodological results are reviewed. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2010; 10 (Suppl. 1): S180–S196.
