     […] 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].
