New SPECT and PET Radiopharmaceuticals for Imaging Cardiovascular Disease
Nuclear cardiology has experienced exponential growth within the past four decades with converging capacity to diagnose and influence management of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with technetium-99m radiotracers or thallium-201 has dominated the field; however new hardware and software designs that opti...
متن کاملSPECT and PET radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging of apoptosis: from bench to clinic
Owing to the central role of apoptosis in many human diseases and the wide-spread application of apoptosis-based therapeutics, molecular imaging of apoptosis in clinical practice is of great interest for clinicians, and holds great promises. Based on the well-defined biochemical changes for apoptosis, a rich assortment of probes and approaches have been developed for molecular imaging of apopto...
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 کاملPET Radiopharmaceuticals
PET (positron emission tomography) is a powerful imaging technique that can provide quantitative information on the distribution of positron emitter labeled radiopharmaceuticals (PET radiopharmaceuticals) in the body. Positrons (ß+) are positively charged beta particles. They are emitted when the atom is proton rich. A positron has only a transient existence. After losing all of its kinetic ene...
