We measured neutrophil glucose uptake with positron emission tomographic imaging and
[18F] fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F] FDG-PET) in anesthetized dogs after intravenous oleic acid …

Positron emission tomographic imaging after administration of the glucose analog fluorine-
18 fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F] FDG) may be useful to study neutrophilic inflammation of the …

PET with 18F-FDG may be useful for quantifying neutrophilic activation. We previously
demonstrated that pulmonary neutrophil sequestration could be detected during acute lung …

Introduction Molecular imaging of the earliest events related to the development of acute
lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) could facilitate therapeutic …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this review is to describe the current experimental and clinical
data regarding the fundamentals and applications of 18F-FDG PET during acute lung injury …

Neutrophil granulocytes play a key role in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of pulmonary
diseases. In many such conditions, the injury observed reflects the activation status rather …

Objective: Neutrophilic inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI). Positron emission …

Positron emission tomography (PET) was used to quantify 18fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG)
uptake in rabbits with experimental pneumonitis localized to the right upper lobe. In …

Recent studies indicate that a focal, limited, inflammatory response can be safely elicited
after direct bronchial instillation of small doses of endotoxin into a single lung segment …

Objective: The common denominator in most forms of ventilator-induced lung injury is an
intense inflammatory response mediated by neutrophils. PET with [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D …
