Expanding PET-applications in life sciences with positron-emitters beyond fluorine-18.Positron-emission-tomography (PET) has become an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern nuclear medicine.  Its outstanding molecular imaging features allow repetitive studies on one individual and with high sensitivity, though no interference.  With the advancement of PET-devices the scope of in vivo research in life sciences and especially that of medical applications expanded, and other than "standard" PET-nuclides received increasing significance, like the radiometals copper-64 and gallium-68.  Appropriately labelled peptides, proteins and nanoparticles lend itself as newer probes for PET-imaging, e.g. in theragnostic or PET/MR hybrid imaging.
