Three-dimensional spatiotemporal tracking of fluorine-18 radiolabeled yeast cells via positron emission particle tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) based on optical feature point identification techniques is demonstrated for use in low activity tracking experiments. A population of yeast cells of approximately 125,000 members is activated to roughly 55 Bq/cell by 18F uptake. An in vitro particle tracking experiment is performed with nearly 20 of these cells after decay to 32 Bq/cell. These cells are successfully identified and tracked simultaneously in this experiment. This work extends the applicability of PEPT as a cell tracking method by allowing a number of cells to be tracked together, and demonstrating tracking for very low activity tracers.

Noninvasive Stem Cell Labeling Using USPIO Technique and their Detection with MRI
Background: To date, several imaging techniques to track stem cells are used such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), Bioluminescence imaging (BLI), fluorescence imaging, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although, overall sensitivity of MRI compared to SPECT and Bioluminescence techniques are lower, but due to high spatial reso...

INTRODUCTION Developing positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers for non-invasive study of the cholinergic system is crucial to the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Although several acetylcholinesterase (AChE) PET tracers radiolabeled with carbon-11 exist, no fluorinated radiotracer is currently used in clinical imaging studies. The purpose of the present study is to describe...

Due to the favourable properties of fluorine, approximately one fifth of newly registered small drugmolecules are organofluorine compounds. Moreover, the artificial isotope F (t1/2 109.8 min) has suitable nuclear properties for in vivo imaging in human subjects using positron emission tomography (PET). Hence, there is a large demand for efficient fluorination methodologies in both medicinal and...
متن کاملPareto design of fuzzy tracking control based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm for a walking robot in the lateral plane on slope
Many researchers have controlled and analyzed biped robots that walk in the sagittal plane. Nevertheless, walking robots require the capability to walk merely laterally, when they are faced with the obstacles such as a wall. In walking robot field, both nonlinearity of the dynamic equations and also having a tracking system cause an effective control has to be utilized to address these problems...
