In order to overcome the constraints of existing PET nuclides, we are investigating the possibility of multi-step nuclear reactions. So far, we found a couple of nuclides, which undergo electron capture reactions with half-lives of several days, but since the resulting daughter nuclides emit positrons with half-lives of about a few minutes, it is considered that long-term PET diagnosis using them is possible.
