12.12 CONCLUDING REMARKS

In the previous sections, the literature was reviewed based on the criteria of novelty,  established chemistry for the reported tracers, and evidence of biological activity  or clinical application. New  especially in the area of the [
imaging agents developed over the past two decades have shown promise in human
patients as, for example, in the detection of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine  tumors and the sentinel lymph node. New  developed with advantages over the older radiopharmaceuticals. Many of the  labelled peptides developed are also very attractive, and they may be applied in the  clinic in the future. The technetium-99m tricarbonyl complexes were introduced more  than 20 years ago as a promising platform for radiopharmaceuticals. It is noteworthy 
99m
that
clinical trials in phase 3 for prostate cancer imaging in North America. Remarkable  eorts were also made in the drug-design of new targeted  receptors and the beta-amyloid, for example, but also in the development of  labelled glucose derivatives, even though no clinically useful imaging agent has  yet emerged.
