Surgical resection is the primary and most effective treatment for most patients with solid
tumors. However, patients suffer from postoperative recurrence and metastasis. In the past …

With the ability to noninvasively image and monitor molecular processes within tumors,
molecular imaging represents a fundamental tool for cancer scientists. In the current review …

In oncology, the feasibility of Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) has been assessed by
imaging superficial lymph nodes in a few patients undergoing diagnostic 18F-fluoro-2 …

Molecularly generated light, referred to here as “molecular light”, mainly includes
bioluminescence, chemiluminescence, and Cerenkov luminescence. Molecular light …

Clear surgical margins for solid tumor resection are essential for preventing cancer
recurrence and improving overall patient survival. Complete resection of tumors is often …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography
(PET) are established medical imaging modalities that have been implemented for decades …

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive glioma of the primary central nervous

Tracers can help visualize the lymphatic drainage patterns and sentinel nodes (SNs) of
individual prostate cancer patients. To determine the role of nuclear medicine in surgical …

Medical radioisotopes produce Cerenkov luminescence (CL) from charged subatomic
particles (β+/−) traveling faster than light in dielectric media (eg, tissue). CL is a blue …

Cerenkov radiation (CR), a phenomenon where charged particles traveling through a
medium exceed the speed of light, has gained increasing attention in the realm of health …
