… With this nomenclature, BP without subscript refers to the ‘true’ in vitro measurement of B
max /K D , and BP with subscripts refers to in vivo measurements that reflect, but typically do not …

Our goal in this paper is the estimation of kinetic model parameters for each voxel
corresponding to a dense three-dimensional (3-D) positron emission tomography (PET) image. …

Microglia play an essential role in many brain diseases. Microglia are activated by local
tissue damage or inflammation, but systemic inflammation can also activate microglia. An …

Many theories of cognitive aging are based on evidence that dopamine (DA) declines with
age. Here, we performed a systematic meta-analysis of cross-sectional positron emission …

A new method has been developed for the removal of carcinogenic aromatic amines from
industrial aqueous effluents. It includes the treatment of aqueous solutions containing the …

Cigarette smoking is a major public health danger. Women and men smoke for different reasons
and cessation treatments, such as the nicotine patch, are preferentially beneficial to men…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a functional imaging technique that measures the
local concentration of an exogenous tracer molecule in the target tissue. Thus, given a time …

The parametric ntPET model (p-ntPET) estimates the kinetics of neurotransmitter release from
dynamic PET data with receptor–ligand radiotracers. Here we introduce a linearization (lp-…

Background: A dopaminergic response to alcohol in humans has not been demonstrated
consistently with positron emission tomography (PET). We hypothesized that the effect of …

Kappa-opioid receptors (KOR) are believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of depression,
anxiety disorders, drug abuse, and alcoholism. To date, only 1 tracer, the KOR agonist …
