Two radionuclides, 18F (T1/2 110 min) and 68Ga (T1/2 68 min), currently play the leading role in the development of positron emission tomography (PET). This review compares the nuclear-physical properties of fluorine-18 and gallium-68 and methods for their preparation, and also discusses the advantages and drawbacks of two competing radionuclides in clinical PET studies using the example of the most popular radiopharmaceuticals.
