Molecular imaging using the theranostic agent 197(m)Hg: phantom measurements and Monte Carlo simulations

Abstract Background Radiomercury 197mHg and 197Hg, henceforth referred to as 197(m)Hg, is a promising theranostic radionuclide endowed with properties that allow diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The aim of this work was to investigate the capabilities of 197(m)Hg for nuclear medicine imaging...
