Nanotechnology for molecular imaging and targeted therapy.
The recent emergence of “molecular imaging” as an integrated discipline in academic medical centers has set the stage for an evolutionary leap in diagnostic imaging and therapy.1 Molecular imaging is not a substitute for the traditional process of image formation and interpretation, but is intended to improve diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity by providing an in vivo analog of immunocytochemis...
متن کاملProliferation imaging to measure early cancer response to targeted therapy.
Positron emission tomography imaging using thymidine and analogues labeled with positron emitters provides noninvasive and quantitative estimates of regional cellular proliferation. This CCR Translations summary reviews the biological basis for proliferation imaging and discusses recent results using 18F-fluorothymidine-positron emission tomography to measure response to targeted therapy in the...
متن کاملMolecular imaging for early prediction of response to Sorafenib treatment in sarcoma.
The role of [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([(18)F]FDG) PET in staging of sarcoma is well established. The aim of this preclinical study was to compare [(18)F]fluorothymidine ([(18)F]FLT) PET to [(18)F]FDG PET regarding early metabolic changes of sarcoma in the course of targeted cancer therapy. SCID mice bearing sarcoma A673 xenotransplants were used for investigation of tumor response after treatm...
متن کاملMolecular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumor Response to Therapy
Personalized cancer medicine requires measurement of therapeutic efficacy as early as possible, which is optimally achieved by three-dimensional imaging given the heterogeneity of cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can obtain images of both anatomy and cellular responses, if acquired with a molecular imaging contrast agent. The poor sensitivity of MRI has limited the development of activa...
متن کاملTargeted Molecular Imaging
Molecular imaging aims to visualize the cellular and molecular processes occurring in living tissues, and for the imaging of specific molecules in vivo, the development of reporter probes and dedicated imaging equipment is most important. Reporter genes can be used to monitor the delivery and magnitude of therapeutic gene transfer, and the time variation involved. Imaging technologies such as m...
