Abstract
The advantages and limitations of (201)Tl imaging in assessing the tumor response to anti-cancer therapy are discussed in this review. (201)Tl has distinctive advantages but more recent agents such as (99m)Tc MIBI and positron emitters have some clinical superiorities over (201)Tl in this usage.
