Resumen

OBAYA VALDIVIA, Adolfo; LOPEZ LOPEZ, Jesús; VARGAS-RODRIGUEZ, Yolanda Marina  y  CAMACHO GONZALEZ, Oyuki. Production of radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) and its application in the diagnosis of various diseases. Educ. quím [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.4, pp.292-299. ISSN 0187-893X.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eq.2016.04.005.

The radioactivity is more known for adverse effects by the explosion of atomic bombs in World War II, but also has features beneficial to health care since it serves for the early diagnosis of diseases to your treatment. This paper presents, from a perspective of chemical education, the fundamental concepts of the Emission of Positron Tomography (PET). Also explains the process of production of radiopharmaceuticals for PET, in particular 18F. Also, different types of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnosis of oncological, neurological and cardiac diseases are discussed. The use and clinical applications of this method of Imaging is already a reality in Mexico since 2005. It is expected students and teachers of the area chemical biological sciences achieve a better understanding and an overview of the scope and applications that this technique can have.
