Lower brain glucose metabolism is present before the onset of clinically measurable cognitive
decline in two groups of people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease---carriers of apolipoprotein …

Molecular imaging using PET provides a unique tool for noninvasively investigating the
biochemistry of living organs. The wide range of radiolabeled molecules makes it possible to …

The regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and metabolic rate for glucose (rCMRGlc) are associated
with functional activity of the neural cells. The present work reports a comparison study …

The design features and engineering constraints of a PET system based on avalanche
photodiode (APD) detectors have been described in a previous report. Here, the authors present …

The measurement of depth of interaction (DOI) within detectors is necessary to improve
resolution uniformity across the FOV of small diameter PET scanners. DOI encoding by pulse …

The purpose of this study was to determine in vivo myocardial energy metabolism and function
in a nutritional model of type 2 diabetes. Wistar rats rendered insulin-resistant and mildly …

18 F-FDG PET can identify areas of myocardial viability and necrosis and provide useful
information on the effectiveness of experimental techniques designed to improve contractile …

… The left ventricular diameter during systole, left ventricular diameter during diastole, and
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were established according to the standards for M-mode …

Normally, the brain's fuel is glucose, but during fasting it increasingly relies on ketones (β-hydroxybutyrate,
acetoacetate, and acetone) produced in liver mitochondria from fatty acid β-…

Background Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a chronic neurological disorder
observed in children. DCD is characterized by slowness in activities and motor impairment …
