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

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

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

Methods currently used to assess lung and airway inflammation are often poorly
quantitative, invasive, nonspecific, or insensitive. Positron emission tomography (PET) with …

Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the lung using the radiotracer 2-
[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) is an emerging method to assess …

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 …

Purpose The aim of the study was to use micro-autoradiography to investigate the lung cell
types responsible for 2-deoxy-2-[18 F] fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) uptake in murine models of …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Dynamic positron emission tomographic imaging of the
radiotracer 2-deoxy-2-[18F] fluoro-d-glucose (18F-FDG) is increasingly used to assess …

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 …

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