Radiopharmaceuticals for Imaging Chronic Lymphocytic Inflammation
In the last few decades, a number of radiopharmaceuticals for imaging inflammation have been proposed that differ in their specificity and mechanism of uptake in inflamed foci as compared to the traditional inflammation imaging agents. Radiolabelled cytokines represent a reliable tool for the preclinical diagnosis of chronic inflammatory processes, even before anatomical and functional changes ...
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 کاملInflammation, the microenvironment and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Normal cells develop, differentiate, proliferate, exert their specific function or simply survive in specific microenvironments, where a team of bystander elements ensures a functional three-dimensional scaffold that allows cell-cell contacts and active molecular cross-talk. In cancer a unique microenvironmental organization is instrumental in the development and thriving of malignant cells: ch...
متن کاملMolecular 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 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...
