The aim of this article is to introduce readers with current status of novel radionuclides in Europe. Main body A consortium questionnaire was disseminated through the PRISMAP consortium and user community, professional associations and preclinical/clinical end users in Europe and the current status of clinical end-users in nuclear medicine were identified. A total of 40 preclinical/clinical users institutions took part in the survey. Clinical end users currently use the following radionuclides in their studies: 177 Lu, 68  Ga, 111 In, 90 Y, other alpha emitters, 225 Ac, 64 Cu and Terbium isotopes. Radionuclides that would be of interest for users within the next 2–5 years are 64 Cu, Terbium radionuclide “family” and alpha emitters, such as 225 Ac. Conclusions Thanks to a questionnaire distributed by the PRISMAP consortium, the current status and needs of clinical end-users in nuclear medicine were identified.}, language = {en}, number = {1}, urldate = {2023-11-16}, journal = {EJNMMI Radiopharmacy and Chemistry}, author = {Radzina, Maija and Saule, Laura and Mamis, Edgars and Koester, Ulli and Cocolios, Thomas Elias and Pajuste, Elina and Kalnina, Marika and Palskis, Kristaps and Sawitzki, Zoe and Talip, Zeynep and Jensen, Mikael and Duchemin, Charlotte and Leufgen, Kirsten and Stora, Thierry}, month = oct, year = {2023}, keywords = {scientific-publication}, pages = {27}, }
