    • 2021 January, Heinz H. Coenen, Johannes Ermert, “Expanding PET-applications in life sciences with positron-emitters beyond fluorine-18”, in Nuclear Medicine and Biology, volume 92, →DOI, pages 241–269:
      [] the positron-emitters bromine-75 and -76 received attention as attractive isotopes right from the beginning of PET-imaging. This was due to existing iodine-123 [a radioactive isotope] labelled tracers and ligands for SPECT, offering homologous non-isotopic radiobromine compounds [in place of the radioiodine].
