Figure 7

Bifunctional radiopharmaceutical: Ogawa and colleagues discuss the development and initial investigation of a 99mTc-chelate-conjugated bisphosphonate with high affinity for bone and rapid clearance from blood, with significant potential for reducing time between dual tracer injections in bone scintigraphy. ...Page 2042

Antifolate and radiofolate uptake: Müller and colleagues investigate the potential for preadministration of antifolates in improving tumor-to-kidney ratios of radiofolates and providing a "therapeutic window" for radiolabeled folates that might otherwise be nephrotoxic. ...Page 2057
Figure 8

ON THE COVER

The coregistered PET and CT images at top were obtained with a threshold of 10% maximum intensity for PET, and the PET/CT image at bottom was obtained through isosurface rendering of PET data with a threshold of at least 60% maximum intensity. Animals receiving the test antibody showed confinement of radioactivity principally to a dorsal area corresponding to the amyloidoma, with negligible amounts in the blood pool. In contrast, animals receiving the control antibody showed negligible uptake in the blood pool or in the amyloid.
