Stroma Targeting Nuclear Imaging and Radiopharmaceuticals
Malignant transformation of tumor accompanies profound changes in the normal neighboring tissue, called tumor stroma. The tumor stroma provides an environment favoring local tumor growth, invasion, and metastatic spreading. Nuclear imaging (PET/SPECT) measures biochemical and physiologic functions in the human body. In oncology, PET/SPECT is particularly useful for differentiating tumors from p...
متن کاملInfectious Foci Imaging with Targeting Radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Medicine
Despite the advances in public health during the 18th and 19th centuries and the introduc‐ tion of immunization and antibiotics in the 20th century, bacterial infection is among the most frequently encountered and costly causes of diseases and one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries (El-Ghany et al., 2005). Localiz‐ ing and distinguishing the “infec...
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 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 کاملMolecular Nuclear Imaging for Targeting and Trafficking
Noninvasive molecular targeting in living subjects is highly demanded for efficient delivery of drugs, genes, or radionuclides in the course of diagnosing or treating diseases. Nuclear medicine has been used for decades to evaluate in vivo biochemistry using organor cell-specific radiopharmaceuticals such as iodine for thyroid follicular cells. Recent progress in molecular biology provides tool...
