Clinical 68Ga-PET: Is Radiosynthesis Module an Absolute Necessity?

The commercially available 68Ge/68Ga generators are generally used in clinical context in conjunction with automated or semi-automated modules for the syntheses of 68Ga radiopharmaceuticals. It is desirable to develop strategies for the formulation of 68Ga-radiopharmaceuticals without use of such expensive modules in order to make 68Ga-based clinical positron emission tomography (PET) more popular and affordable worldwide.
