Molecular imaging includes proteomic, metabolic, cellular biologic process, and genetic
imaging. In a narrow sense, molecular imaging means genetic imaging and can be called …

The norepinephrine transporter (NET) is essential for norepinephrine uptake at the synaptic
terminals and adrenal chromaffin cells. In neuroendocrine tumors, NET can be targeted for …

Preclinical and clinical tomographic imaging systems increasingly are being utilized for non-
invasive imaging of reporter gene products to reveal the distribution of molecular …

INTRODUCTION: Neuroblastoma is the most common pediatric extracranial solid cancer.
This tumor is characterized by metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) avidity in 90% of cases …

Molecular imaging has played an important role in the noninvasive exploration of multiple
biological processes. Reporter gene imaging is a key part of molecular imaging. By …

The area of molecular imaging has matured over the past decade and is still growing
rapidly. Many concepts developed for molecular biology and cellular imaging have been …

The clinical application of positron-emission-tomography-based reporter gene imaging will
expand over the next several years. The translation of reporter gene imaging technology into …

Noninvasive reporter gene imaging is a component of molecular imaging. Reporter imaging
can provide noninvasive assessments of endogenous biologic processes in living subjects …

Purpose. 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is used for the diagnostic evaluation of
neuroblastoma. We evaluated the relationship between norepinephrine transporter (NET) …

Findings from five independent studies-with close to 350 patients with pheochromocytoma
and more than 2 500 in whom the tumor was excluded-indicate that measurements of …
