Inhaled mineral dusts and fibres can cause chronic pulmonary inflammation, often leading to
permanent scarring with loss of function, but the mechanisms involved remain obscure …

DISCUSSION (R)-[― C}-VC-002 meets all the criteria necessary for the determination of
muscarinic receptor densities in human lungs by means of a multiple injection protocol. The …

The basics of positron emission tomography (PET) are presented, including the physics,
