Noninvasive imaging at the molecular level is an emerging field in biomedical research.
This paper introduces a new technology synergizing two leading imaging methodologies: …

The study was performed to compare the 18 F-labeled nitroimidazole compound fluoroazomycin
arabinoside ( 18 F-FAZA) with the standard hypoxia tracer fluoromisonidazole ( 18 F-…

Background Increased echogenicity of the substantia nigra (SN), as determined by transcranial
sonography (TCS), is characteristic of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD). The results of …

Background The pleasant effects of food and alcohol intake are partially mediated by μ-opiate
receptors in the ventral striatum, a central area of the brain reward system. Blockade of μ-…

The aim of this study was to quantify regional bone blood flow and [ 18 F]fluoride ion influx
with [ 18 F]fluoride ion PET and correlate the results with specific static and dynamic indices of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: PET with 18 F-Misonidazole (FMISO-PET) is a non-invasive
method for measuring tumor hypoxia. We analysed changes of FMISO-uptake during …

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a transmembrane glycoprotein, is highly
expressed by virtually all prostate cancers and is currently the focus of several diagnostic and …

[ 11 C]PIB ( 11 C-6-OH benzothiazole) reflects the regional distribution of amyloid (beta-sheeted
proteins) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Proteinaceous inclusions in …

We evaluated the predictive value of PET using the hypoxia tracer 18 F-fluoroazomycin
arabinoside ( 18 F-FAZA) for success of radiotherapy in combination with tirapazamine, a …

Rationale Negative mood states are characterized by both stress hormone dysregulation and
serotonergic dysfunction, reflected by altered thalamic serotonin transporter (5-HTT) levels. …
