Molecular imaging without radiopharmaceuticals?
The limitations on the sensitivity for detecting small changes in MRI, CT, and ultrasound pulse-echo images are used to estimate the practical requirements for molecular imaging and targeted contrast enhancement for these modalities. These types of imaging are highly unlikely to approach the sensitivity for detecting molecular processes of radionuclear methods, and the prospects for achieving s...
متن کاملRadiopharmaceuticals for Molecular Imaging
Radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging involve careful consideration of the following two factors: radionuclide selection and specificity to the molecular target. In selecting a radionuclide, the specific decay mode, physical half-life, chemical properties, and method of production must be considered. For proper design of a radiopharmaceutical which targets a specific biological or disease ...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Breast Cancer Tissue via Site-Directed Radiopharmaceuticals
The American Cancer Society reports that ~261,100 new cases of invasive and in situ breast cancer were diagnosed in 2010, and nearly 40,000 fatalities were attributed to this disease (American Cancer Society, 2010). Although death rates have steadily decreased since 1990, breast cancer currently ranks second in cancer deaths among women. Improvements in detection, treatment, and prevention educ...
متن کاملCONTINUING EDUCATION Radiopharmaceuticals in PET Imaging
Objective: PET isotopes are being used more commonly in nuclear medicine. This paper introduces the nuclear medicine technologist to the use of PET imaging. The major focus of this article is on the isotopes that are used in this modality and how they differ from traditional isotopes. The nuclear medicine technologist will become familiar with PET isotopes by reading about PET history, the prod...
متن کاملRadiopharmaceuticals for renal positron emission tomography imaging.
Radiopharmaceuticals for functional renal imaging, including renal blood flow, renal blood volume, glomerular excretion, and metabolism have been available for some time. This review outlines radiopharmaceuticals for functional renal imaging as well as those that target pertinent molecular constituents of renal injury and repair. The angiotensin and endothelin receptors are particularly appeali...
