Molecular breast imaging [PDF]
Molecular breast imaging (MBI) is a new nuclear medicine technique that utilizes small semiconductor-based gamma-cameras in a mammographic configuration to provide high-resolution functional images of the breast. Current studies with MBI have used Tc-99m sestamibi, which is an approved agent for breast imaging.

Molecular imaging and immunotherapy [PDF]
The utility of positron emission tomography (PET) for the evaluation of response to immunotherapy has been considered a hot topic, particularly in the last 2 to 3 years. Different experiences have been collected in clinical practice, with 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT), particularly in patients affected by lymphoma, malignant

Endocarditis and molecular imaging [PDF]
Clinically managing acute endocarditis, an infection of the heart valves with a mortality rate of up to 47%, remains highly challenging and frequently unsuccessful (1, 2). The most common pathogen behind acute endocarditis is Staphylococcus aureus, followed by Streptococcus species (2, 3). Unmet clinical needs in treating acute endocarditis include: (i)

Molecular Imaging of the Breast
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MR spectroscopy, and nuclear medicine sestamibi imaging using technetium-99m methoxyisobutyl isonitrile or positron emission tomography (PET) techniques provide information beyond that of structural imaging by displaying tumor neoangiogenesis, tumor metabolites, increased numbers of tumor cellular ...
