This study describes the radiosynthesis and preliminary biologic evaluation of trans-9 (RS)-
18F-fluoro-3, 4 (RS, RS)-methyleneheptadecanoic acid (18F-FCPHA) as a new potential …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Subjects A total of 432 consecutive patients underwent BMIPP
scintig raphy. Nine patients (2.1%) showed absent myocardial BMIPP uptake. Six of these 9 …

MATERIALS AND METhODS Synthesis of Substrate FTHA was synthesized according to the
method described by DeGrado (9). The precursor benzyl-l4 (R, S)-tosyloxy-6-thia-hep …

Dynamic myocardial SPECT data acquired with 15-123I-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(R, S)-
methylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) were analyzed by the Rutland method. The relative time …

Of all the tracer techniques currently available for the detection of myocardial viability, it is
the classic pattern of fluorine-18 deoxyglucose-perfusion mismatch that is clearest from the …

Methods: Among the 1258 patients who underwent BMIPP scin-tigraphy, 11 patients (0.9%)
showed negative myocardial uptake of BMIPP. Under fasting condition, PET using [11C] …

Abstract Radioiodinated 3 (R)-(+)-and 3 (S)-(-)-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3-(R, S)-
methylpentadecanoic acid (BMIPP) were prepared and evaluated in rats to investigate the …

Reported metabolic patterns in myocardial stunning are not uniform. We investigated
relative myocardial perfusion, glucose and fatty acid uptake using a technetium-99 hexakis …

β-Methyl-substituted free fatty acids (FFAs) have been developed for myocardial single-
photon emission tomography (SPET) imaging, but little is known about their kinetics in …

To evaluate the ability to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) with a new iodine-123
labeled branched fatty acid analog, iodophenyl-9-methyl pentadecanoic acid (9MPA), we …
