This present review provides an account on the available synthetic strategies employed to radiolabel commercial and potential bacteria-selective probes for tomographic imaging. These molecular probes encompass leukocytes, antibodies, small molecules, peptides, antibiotics, macrolides, vitamins, oligomers and siderophores. Although this technique has shown to be a valuable tool for non-invasive infection imaging, more development is required to create easy-to-radiolabel kit solutions/procedures for the preparation of the probes.
