Artificial tissue binding models : development and comparative evaluation of high - throughput lipophilicity assays and their use for PET tracer optimization [PDF]
, 2015 The purpose of this thesis was to increase the efficiency of the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer development process. Since many neuroimaging agents fail due to undesirably high non-specific binding (NSB) to brain tissue, we aimed at estimating

Quantification of lung glucose metabolism with positron emission tomography in patients with Acute Lung Injury [PDF]
, 2011 Acute lung injury is lung pathologies that confer considerable morbidity and high mortality and has no specific treatment. One cause of ALI exacerbation can be the mechanical ventilation provided in the intensive care unit ICU probably because of ...

Iodine-123 labeled reboxetine analogues for imaging of noradrenaline transporter in brain using single photon emission computed tomography [PDF]
, 2012 Preliminary investigation of the radioiodinated (S,S)-reboxetine analogue, 123I-INER, in baboons showed this tracer to have promise for imaging the noradrenaline transporter (NAT) using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

The Utility of [18]F-Fluorocholine Positron Emission Computed Tomography and [18]F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography–Computed Tomography in Evaluating Breast Cancer Phenotypes: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Background: The utility of the [18]F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography ([18]F FDG PET-CT) marker for breast cancer is well established. Given its limitations in localizing FDG-negative malignant tumors, the expression of

Functional specialization within rostral prefrontal cortex (Area 10): a meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2006 One of the least well understood regions of the human brain is rostral prefrontal cortex, approximating Brodmann's area 10. Here, we investigate the possibility that there are functional subdivisions within this region by conducting a meta-analysis of ...
