This study describes an [11C] acetate rest–stress method to obtain an indirect estimate of
myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in rats …

Tumor hypoxia is associated with increased therapeutic resistance leading to poor treatment
outcome. Therefore the ability to detect and quantify intratumoral oxygenation could play an …

Aims To assess the impact of various patient characteristics on the dynamics of liver glucose
metabolism using automated multiparametric imaging with whole‐body dynamic 18F …

Using a novel positron emission tomography (PET) method with oral administration of 14 (R,
S)-[18F]-fluoro-6-thia-heptadecanoic acid (18FTHA), we recently demonstrated that subjects …

Background Obtaining the arterial input function (AIF) from image data in dynamic positron
emission tomography (PET) examinations is a non-invasive alternative to arterial blood …

A metabolite corrected arterial input function is a prerequisite for quantification of positron
emission tomography (PET) data by compartmental analysis. This quantitative approach is …

Oral 14 (R, S)-[18F]-fluoro-6-thia-heptadecanoic acid was used to determine whether an
increase in cardiac dietary fatty acid (DFA) metabolism in impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) …

Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRg) is lower in individuals affected by cognitive
decline and dementia, especially in Alzheimer's disease. However, as yet there is no …

Background Quantification of the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRGlu) by dynamic
[18F] FDG PET requires invasive arterial sampling. Alternatives to using an arterial input …

Arterial inflammation is an indicator of atheromatous plaque vulnerability to detach and to
obstruct blood vessels in the heart or in the brain thus causing heart attack or stroke. To …
