Image Guided Biodistribution of Drugs and Drug Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image guided technique is playing an increasingly important role in the investigation of the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of drugs or drug delivery systems. The application of these new materials and techniques with combined properties of diagnosis and therapy can benefit the development of targeted drug delivery system and modern personalized medicine This special issue provides an up-to-date collection of original research articles and review on the development of novel targeted drug and drug delivery systems combining with non-invasive image guided techniques for chemotherapeutic reagents or DNA delivery.

متن کاملNanotheranostics and image-guided drug delivery: current concepts and future directions.
Nanomedicine formulations aim to improve the biodistribution and the target site accumulation of systemically applied (chemo-) therapeutics. Various different passively and actively targeted nanomedicines have been evaluated over the years, based e.g. on liposomes, polymers, micelles and antibodies, and a significant amount of (pre-) clinical evidence has been obtained showing that these 5-200 ...

Next to blood transfusions, bone is the most commonly implanted material in the human body, with an estimated 600,000 grafts performed annually. New methods for replacing bone or stimulating bone formation in disease settings, such as arthritis and acute injury, can be challenging to evaluate in traditional preclinical models. Image-guided techniques are playing an increasingly important role i...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important modality in the field of molecular imaging, which is gradually impacting patient care by providing safe, fast, and reliable techniques that help to alter the course of patient care by revealing invasive, de facto procedures to be unnecessary or rendering them obsolete. Also, PET provides a key connection between the molecular mechanisms involve...
