Związki kompleksowe na bazie Gd(III), W(IV), Mn(II), Eu(III) i 99mTc wykorzystywane w diagnostyce medycznej

Recently, hospitals have undergone major changes. Minimally invasive surgery is becoming more common, and numerous innovations are emerging, such as interventional radiology (IVR) and hybrid surgery. In order to keep pace with changes in this extremely dynamic field, scientist keep working on the development of imaging technology and the improvement of image display devices and new compounds acting as contrast agent (CA). In medicine, metals are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Inorganic elements are increasingly used as contrast agents in medical imaging due to their unique physicochemical properties. In this review, we would like to focus on the latest literature reports that contain information on Gd(III), W(IV), Mn(II), Eu(III) and 99mTc used in medical diagnostics.
