This is a list of positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers. These are chemical compounds in which one or more atoms have been replaced by a short-lived, positron emitting radioisotope.

Cardiology[edit]

NIMH maintains a list of CNS radiotracers that may be useful for additional information.^[1]

Wey HY, Gilbert TM, Zürcher NR, She A, Bhanot A, Taillon BD, Schroeder FA, Wang C, Haggarty SJ, Hooker JM (10 August 2016). "Insights into neuroepigenetics through human histone deacetylase PET imaging". Science Translational Medicine. 8 (351): 351ra106. doi:10.1126/scitranslmed.aaf7551. PMC 5784409. PMID 27510902. In neurological disorders, HDACs change expression in regions throughout the brain, but their dynamic contribution to human disease development over time is unknown. Wey et al. therefore developed and applied an HDAC imaging probe, called Martinostat, to visualize HDAC expression in the living brain. Martinostat was previously tested in rodents and nonhuman primates, and here, it is used for the first time in humans
