Hypoxia predicts poor treatment response of malignant tumors. We used PET with 18 F-fluoromisonidazole
( 18 F-FMISO) and 15 OH 2 O to measure in vivo hypoxia and perfusion in …

Molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission
computed tomography (SPECT) is a well-established and important in vivo technique to …

The folate receptor-α (FR-α) is overexpressed in many epithelial cancers, including ovary,
uterus, kidneys, breast, lung, colon and prostate carcinomas, but shows limited expression in …

The quad-HIDAC small animal PET camera is a quadratic array of high-density avalanche
chambers; the camera described in this publication consists of 16 modules. We present the …

Background The NMDA receptor (NMDAR) plays a key role in the central nervous system,
eg, for synaptic transmission. While synaptic NMDARs are thought to have protective …

Over the past two decades, our understanding of the endocannabinoid system has greatly
improved due to the wealth of results obtained from exploratory studies. Currently, two …

Background Noninvasive preclinical imaging methodologies such as small animal positron
emission tomography (PET) allow the repeated measurement of the same subject which is …

The research and development of smart radiodrugs is the goal of the Center of Radiopharmaceutical
Science of ETH, PSI, and USZ. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) allows the …

Background The expression of cannabinoid type 2 receptors (CB 2 Rs) in the brain is
negligible under physiological condition, and upregulated under microglia activation. …

This book serves as a good starting point for anyone interested in the application of tissue
engineering. It offers a colorful mix of topics, which explain the obstacles and possible …
