Abstract: Radiopharmaceuticals refers to radionuclides for clinical diagnosis or treatment, or labeled compounds, mainly including the radiological drugs for diagnosis and radiological drugs for treatment. With the popularity of SPECT/PET/PET-CT, the research and development of diagnostic radiotherapy drugs represented by 99mTc, 18F and 68Ga have developed rapidly in recent years. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the research and development of therapeutic radiotherapy drugs due to their good economic benefits and research and development potential. However, there is still a big gap between China and the United States and the European Union in terms of research and development investment in radioactive drugs and relevant policies and regulations. In this paper, the present situation of radiopharmaceutical research at home and abroad and the general situation of radiopharmaceutical development in China are discussed.

Key words: radioactive drugs, policies and regulations, development status, outlook
