Single-walled carbon nanotubes are currently under evaluation in biomedical applications,
including in vivo delivery 1 , 2 , 3 of drugs 4 , proteins, peptides 5 , 6 , 7 and nucleic acids 8 , …

This study evaluates the influence of particle size, PEGylation, and surface coating on the
quantitative biodistribution of near‐infrared‐emitting quantum dots (QDs) in mice. Polymer‐ or …

… of 5.55 MBq in 25 pmol QD per animal—a QD dose that is commonly used by our group for
fluorescence imaging (Meike L. Schipper, Olivier Gheysens, unpublished data, August 2006). …

Purpose: To evaluate in vivo whole-body biodistribution of microbubbles (MBs) targeted to
tumor angiogenesis–related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor 2 (VEGFR2) …

There is a considerable discrepancy in the literature concerning the sensitivity of parathyroid
scintigraphy (PS) with 99m Tc-MIBI. We therefore analyzed our own data and compared …

Gastrin receptor scintigraphy (GRS) is a new imaging method primarily developed for the
detection of metastases of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). As gastrin-binding CCK 2 …

Purpose This work investigated whether fLuc-catalyzed oxidation of d-luciferin generates
sufficient light to induce photodynamic toxicity in cancer cells. Procedures Light emission was …

Purpose There is growing interest in the human sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) gene both as
a molecular imaging reporter gene and as a therapeutic gene. Here, we show the feasibility …

This study evaluates the possibility of treating Bon1 and QGP pancreatic neuroendocrine
tumor cells with radioactive iodide ( 131 I) after stable transfection with the thyroid sodium …

Introduction The role of trimodality therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
continues to be defined. We hypothesized that imaging parameters on pre- and …
