The use of metal chelators is becoming increasingly important in the development of new tracers for molecular imaging. With the rise of the field of nanotechnology, the fusion of both technologies has shown great potential for clinical applications. The pharmacokinetcs of nanoparticles can be monitored via positron emission tomography (PET) after surface modification and radiolabeling with positron emitting radionuclides. Different metal ion chelators can be used to facilitate labeling of the radionuclides and as a prerequisite, optimized radiolabeling procedure is necessary to prevent nanoparticle aggregation and degradation. However, the effects of chelator modification on nanoparticle pharmacokinetic properties have not been well studied and currently no studies to date have compared the biological effects of the use of different chelators in the surface modification of nanoparticles.
